Not sure what you mean. Running doesn't require any additional packages.
It is just to get additional logs.
  systemctl status  pki-tomcatd at pki-tomcat.service
  journalctl -u pki-tomcatd at pki-tomcat.service

And the links below are about checking if CA users have correctly mapped
certificates in LDAP database in ou=people,o=ipaca for that you need
only ldapsearch command and start directory server:
  systemctl start dirsrv at YOUR-REALM-TEST.service

Proper name for dirsrv at YOUR-REALM-TEST.service can be found using:
  systemctl | grep dirsrv@
