Proper labeling for certs in the homedir is setup for ~/.pki or ~/.cert

grep home_cert_t /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/homedir_template
HOME_DIR/.kde/share/apps/networkmanagement/certificates(/.*)?
system_u:object_r:home_cert_t:s0
HOME_DIR/\.pki(/.*)?	system_u:object_r:home_cert_t:s0
HOME_DIR/\.cert(/.*)?	system_u:object_r:home_cert_t:s0

You might need to run restorecon 0n the directories after you create.
