Correct, I was trying to set it to use a "proper" cert issued by LetsEncrypt
I imported the Lets Encrypt cert, that I had converted to pkcs12. Then tried
via cockpit security settings, to select it from the drop down. It was listed,
and let me save, but when I restarted the instance and refreshed cockpit it
reverted to “Server-Cert"
I didn’t notice anything at first in the error log, but after setting in
dse.ldif I noticed this in errors.
“CERT_VerifyCertificateNow: verify certificate failed for cert MyCert of family
cn=RSA,cn=encryption,cn=config (Netscape Portable Runtime error -8181 - Peer's
Certificate has expired”
This made me realise I’d used the older pkcs12I had lying about. At that point
I used certultil to replace (i.e deleted it, and re-added it to the keystore)
and restarted without issue.
I thought it may be because it was expired that it wasn't saving, but I’ve just
tried doing the same thing with a new cert as a test and get the same result.
1) Covert LE to pkcs12
/usr/bin/openssl pkcs12 -export \
-in $LE_DIR/cert.pem \
-inkey $LE_DIR/privkey.pem \
-out $LE_DIR/$HOSTNAME.p12 -name $HOSTNAME \
-certfile $LE_DIR/chain.pem -caname LE-CHAIN\
-password pass:$P12_PWD
2) Import to keystore
pk12util -i $LE_DIR/$HOSTNAME.p12 -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-<INSTANCE>/ -K
$LDAP_STORE_PWD -W $P12_PWD
3) At this point I can see it and select it in cockpit security settings, and
save. But after restarting the instance, it reverts to the previous cert that
was selected (MyCert)
Tailing the log at the point of saving the setting in cockpit I have found just
this

However, checking, I see that when I change other settings (for example Paged
Search Size Limit) , but they seem to stick.
All the best
