I do not think certmonger is currently supported with pure Dogtag
without the IPA. There are some parts of it present but it might not
work end to end.
IN case of IPA certmonger uses kerberos to authenticate to server and
fetch the certs. Without IPA you have to deal with the pure cert base
setup which we have not had a priority complete.
