There is a tool to do that, ipa-server-certinstall.

It isn't too difficult to do but you have to understand the 
ramifications. When you create any replicas you'll need to provide two 
certificates for it (one for Apache and one for 389) in the form of 
PKCS#12 files and they need to be issued from the same CA as your other 
IPA servers (or they must already be trusted).

You just have to be very careful, basically.
