Description Brian J. Atkisson 2008-11-11 00:15:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

When setting up the admin console to use SSL, the console will write out the console.conf file without putting quotes around the certificate name.  If the certificate name has spaces in it, the admin server will refuse to start with:

Syntax error on line 87 of /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf:
NSSNickname takes one argument, SSL RSA Server Certificate nickname (`Server-Cert'

Essentially, the NSSNickname certificate name should be placed in quotes 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.x and RHDS 8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable SSL for the admin server in the admin console and select a certificate with a space in the name
2.click save
3.restart dirsrv-admin
  
Actual results:

Syntax error on line 87 of /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf:
NSSNickname takes one argument, SSL RSA Server Certificate nickname (`Server-Cert'

Expected results:

dirsrv-admin starts successfully

Additional info:

Manually editing console.conf and place quotes around the NSSNickname certificate name will resolve this issue.

I'll bet this is somehow related to the other bugs around the console and certificate requests.
