I'm newbie in mailman list, so I don't know if I'm sending this email
correctly.

Tranks for your reply, and what I've understood, I have to do the following:
% *cd /var/myca/*
% */usr/share/ssl/misc/CA.sh -newca*
This creates cacert.pem and private/cakey.pem (these files are common for
all the server and clients). In The field of Common Name I have to write the
ldap master server name host (i.e. ldap.dominio.com).

Now, I make a singing request for master server, slave server (replica) and
clients. I execute all these command for each one changing the Common Name
for the specific host name (for master server: ldap.dominio.com, for slave
server (replica):replica.ldap.dominio.com, for clients:
pc1.dominio.com....).
% *openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -keyout newreq.pem -out newreq.pem*
% */usr/share/ssl/misc/CA.sh -sign*

Are all OK?
Thank you very much, and if this is correct, you could add this to a FAQ of
the openldap guide, because I haven't seen anything about slave servers.
