Presumably this works in a similar way to the dovecot equivalent at
/etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot-openssl.cnf

In the dovecot case there is a nice certificate generator secretly buried at
/usr/libexec/dovecot/mkcert.sh that will execute the generation of dovecot
certs based on the content of the  dovecot-openssl.cnf file.

I don't know if there is an equivalent for the tls directory that you quote
but no doubt someone who has used this in earnest will chip in here and say
how it is used!
