You can compare the CA cert that is stored in this file and the one that is
stored in the /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias database.
To compare the PEM content:
# cat /etc/ipa/ca.crt
# certutil -L -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias/  -n 'caSigningCert cert-pki-ca'
-a
You should see the same content.

Or if you want to see the certificate details:
# openssl x509 -noout -text -in /etc/ipa/ca.crt
# certutil -L -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias/  -n 'caSigningCert cert-pki-ca'
You should see the same values (subject, issuers, validity, serial
number...)

I'm asking you to compare because it's unexpected to see a subject
CN=localhost for the IPA CA. Someone has probably messed up with some
commands and replaced the original IPA CA with a wrong one in the
/etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias database. If that's the case, we can put the
right CA back with certutil commands but we need to be sure what to put
there.
