An instance is a standalone, separate set of configuration and data for 
389-ds. Each instance is completely indedependent of any others.

Each instance has its own cn=config so you need to set new values for 
both. instance_name in this documentation is just a placeholder. You'd 
use either slapd-<MYINSTANCE> or slapd-PKI-IPA.
