Generally speaking, the CN field should be the fully qualified
hostname of your system.  For a case where you're doing dir and sd on
the same system, you'd have two certs with the same CN value.

I found the following guide useful in setting up a local CA:
http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/be-your-own-ca/

I've opted for a two tier CA though and if you're interested in that
level of effort (overkill possibly), I'll share another guide I found
handy.

Thanks
