[Freeipa-users] Renewing an externally signed HTTP/LDAP certificate

Hi Rob.
To add to this mess, I seem to have somehow confused the LDAP
certificate configuration in the process of setting up a replicant
(ipa.cs.ru.is) with my new StartSSL (personal) certificate. The
previous certificate was a corporate Level2 certificate. Trying to use
the old certificate (which expires tomorrow) doesn't seem to put it back
in working order.
This is what I did to make the pkcs file:
cp ipa.cs.ru.is.crt ipa.cs.ru.is-bundle.crt
cat certs/ca-bundle.crt >> ipa.cs.ru.is-bundle.crt (the ca-bundle is
the root_bundle.crt they now send you in a zip file)
openssl pkcs12 -export -in ipa.cs.ru.is-bundle.crt -inkey
private/ipa.cs.ru.is.key -out ipa.cs.ru.is.p12 -name ipa.cs.ru.is
ipa-replica-prepare --http-cert-file ipa.cs.ru.is.p12 --http-pin XXXXX
--dirsrv-cert-file ipa.cs.ru.is.p12 --dirsrv-pin XXXXX ipa.cs.ru.is
Then copied it to ipa.cs.ru.is and ran
ipa-replica-install --mkhomedir replica-info-ipa.cs.ru.is.gpg
Everything looks fine until:
[24/38]: setting up initial replication
Starting replication, please wait until this has completed.
[ipa2.cs.ru.is] reports: Update failed! Status: [-11 - LDAP error:
Connect error]
[error] RuntimeError: Failed to start replication
Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.
