Over the weekend, my original "NSS Certificate DB" certificate expired. It was
automatically renewed, however in a new location:
# ipa-getcert list

I managed to restart the FreeIPA service by adding `NSSEnforceValidCerts off` to
`/etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf`. But logging into the webinterface still yields the following
error in httpd:
[Mon Aug 19 10:36:05.722736 2019] [:error] [pid 12798] ipa: INFO: 401 Unauthorized: [SSL:
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:618)
[Mon Aug 19 10:36:05.723894 2019] [:error] [pid 12802] SSL Library Error: -12269 The
server has rejected your certificate as expired
I have intentionally not copied the new certificate to `/etc/httpd/alias` as I am not
aware of all the involved components and fear that this might break something.
My system is running a fully patched CentOS 7.6, running FreeIPA 4.6.4-10.el7.centos.6.
What should I do to resolve this issue, simply replacing the certificates, or is there a
better method?
