So I finally was able to login to the admin utility. I had to delete all the 
SSL Key information that was created by the bootstrap utility and then run 
/kolab/etc/kolab/kolab_sslcert.sh. This then created a cert.pem and key.pem in 
the directory of /kolab/etc/kolab.

Only issue that I did get was I had to add an exception to firefox when I 
attempted to login to the site as it said it was a self-signed cert.

Thanks again for the help. Off to familarize myself with the documentation a 
little more to get things configured correctly.
