I'd need to see the errors you were getting. I don't see why the
existence of a trusted CA cert would cause a service to not start.

Thanks Rob. I imported the CA into both the httpd and ldap NSS databases
and it works. Interestingly, I'm currently using version 3.0 of IPA which
still has the split directories. The CA imported properly into the main IPA
directory, but would not import into the PKI directory without errors on
restart. As I only really needed it in the main directory, I'm OK for now,
however, I'm wondering if this will be a problem when we move to version
3.3 and the two directories are combined.

Need a little more context here. IPA doesn't use SSL client
authentication so it shouldn't be an issue. Can you provide more details
on what the client side is doing and what errors you are seeing?

I should have added, "or do I have to somehow add the certificate to the
IPA directory?"

[Freeipa-users] trust non-IPA certificate client

[Stephen Ingram]

I have one client using a certificate issued by a third party provider such
that any secure (TLS) LDAP queries are refused since the certificates were
not issued by IPA. Since there are only a few clients with foreign
certificates, can the CA simply be added to the NSS database used by the
389 directory server so IPA will establish a secure connection with them?
