	In playing with this a little more, I have found that if I delete the  
cert from Keychain tool (where I had imported also in an attempt to  
get it to work), then go to Server Admin, select to  'Add Singed or  
Renewed...' and save, I do not get an error logged.  The cert then  
does show back up in Keychain tool, so it is imported (and shows  
valid).  However, it disappears completely from Server Admin!  Under  
the cert page, it just simply is no longer listed.  So all the apps  
that use a cert go to showing 'custom config', and my new cert is not  
shown in the selection popup.

	This is so frustrating.
