Well, it depends. Is this a self-signed certificate, or a verified one from an external signer? What's the certificate used for?

And since you're using RHEL, have you called RedHat support?? You're paying for it with your RHEL subscription.

The link kontrabant posted walks you through it. And again, if you're paying for support from RedHat, call them.
