Specifying the option

--certs-default-ca-name="some-name-here" 

generates the correct files in

/etc/pki/katello/certs/

but the httpd configuration still points to

/etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-default-ca.crt

This causes the installer to fail (since the httpd cannot start), with the following error message

The easy workaround is to create symlink

/etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-default-ca.crt -> /etc/pki/katello/certs/some-name-here.crt 

But the installer should update the httpd configuration to point to the correct location.
