This is expected, see online documentation:
The prompt is a password to unlock the NSS DB key file used for SSL on
an RHDS instance.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/Managing_SSL-Starting_the_Server_with_SSL_Enabled.html#Starting_the_Server_with_SSL_Enabled-Creating_a_Password_File
And about admin and directory manager users:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/Introduction_to_RHDS-Configuring_the_Directory_Manager.html
