What a strange error. My initial thought was that it couldn't read or
parse the CA cert from the 3.0 master, but this security library error
is unexpected.

I might be sending you on a wild goose chase but take a look at the CA
cert in cn=CAcert,cn=ipa,cn=etc,$SUFFIX

There was a bug quite a while back where the cert value was
double-base64-encoded. I wouldn't expect this error from this problem
but who knows.
