    Hello, I’ve setup the self-signed certs for LDAP, IMAP, SMTP, HTTPS based on your article and it’s all worked great.

    However, I noticed in Server Admin’s prefs, you can require a valid SSL cert. If you hold over the checkbox, you get the following tooltip, “You must install a valid certificate in your server /etc/servermgrd folder”

    Which file in our /etc/certs/ directory should be copied to that directory? I notice the destination directory has the same subdirectory’s as httpd. Any chance on updating the article to cover this final area of SSL?

    Because servermgrd’s certificate is identical for every installation of OSX Server? I get free “official” certificates from CACert, and install them on my server at /Library/Certificates so I can find them when I want them. To get servermgrd to use them, I did this:

    mv /etc/servermgrd/ssl.key /etc/servermgrd/old-ssl.key
    mv /etc/servermgrd/ssl.crt /etc/servermgrd/old-ssl.crt
    ln /Library/Certificates/server.key /etc/servermgrd/ssl.key
    ln /Library/Certificates/server.crt /etc/servermgrd/ssl.crt

    Hopefully that’s enough to help anybody replace the certificate for servermgrd, whether you put copies there, or just link like I did.
