Ok, that makes sense.  I figured out that the back end, dogtag, was using NSS, but it looked like the web GUI was using OpenSSL.  Re-issuing SSL certs for services looks simple enough through the GUI.  Thanks for your help.

All that aside, is there a way to rekey the IPA CA?  I’d hate to see the same type of vulnerability announced next week for NSS and not have any recourse.

Thank you.
