That could have been more clear, I meant that a lack of certs in the Admin Server db should not cause an error when trying to access cert information in the directory server db. But as I said that is from 10 000 feet viewpoint.

A system-wide cert db would be really cool. Out of interest, would that also unify /etc/openldap/cacerts?
