I have been following this guide step by step to install self-signed certs: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Certificate_System/8.1/html/Deploy_and_Install_Guide/ds-self-signed.html

 

After generating the certs using certutil, and adding them as trusted certs in 389, I check the enable ssl checkbox in the 389 directory console.

 

I continue to follow the next steps until I reset the dirsrv service.  The dirsrv service will not restart. Error message (notice I changed the secure port to 1636 this time but get same results leaving it as 636):

Do any of you have any ideas of what is causing this issue or what I may be doing wrong? If you need more information please do not hesitate to ask.
