Hi,

The above wiki page is actually used to create a new CA admin user, 
which requires an existing CA admin to approve it. When you install CA 
subsystem it will have a default CA admin user which you can use 
directly. It's not necessary to create another CA admin user unless you 
want to give admin access to someone else.

To use the default CA admin user please take a look at this page: 
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Default_CA_Admin

You can either import the CA admin cert into ~/.dogtag/nssdb first, or 
use it directly from ~/.dogtag/pki-tomcat/ca/alias if you created the CA 
with pki_client_database_purge=False.

If you're still having issues, could you post the exact commands you're 
trying to execute? Thanks.
