Yes. The pair is used for the LDAP directory. Ldif file conversion is
useful, but some other tool might have this feature already?

In addition, I never see the cross certificate pair in PEM
format. Usually see it in DER format. Sometimes the cross certificate
pair are requested to provide to the LDAP directory operator of cross
certification partners, just to make sure that what they stores
matches what we generated.
