This seems to indicate that `newcert.pem' does not contain an rsa key.
pem's are just text files.  An rsa key will look like this:

  -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  [base64 encoded representation of rsa key]
  -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

While not specific to openldap software, the mod_ssl folks have a nice
set of how-to's for working with ssl certificates:
