[Freeipa-users] slight problem when integrating certmonger with dogtag on fedora 21

just use either ipa-getcert or getcert -c IPA?

I am not yet familiar with the entire setup enough to give a good answer. I
assume that requires full freeIPA setup, which i don't really need.

I just wanted a simplistic dogtag ca instance + certmonger setup for
watching certs on various machines and checking if the requests get filled
in correctly, and then expanding on it once i get more familiar with other
workings of it.  And i got stuck on certmonger.
