You situation has quite similar symptoms to the case of expired 
certificates.
What most likely happened is that the certificates we not renewed 
properly or not renewed properly on all servers.

Here is the procedure
http://www.freeipa.org/page/Howto/CA_Certificate_Renewal
there have also been some threads as a lot of people hit this.

Check IPA mailing archives.
Rob Crittenden is the person who was hand holding other people on the 
list through this and similar procedures, so look for his posts.

But before you go there please check that this is actually the case and 
your certs in fact expired. Check all your servers.

Here is the pointer
