Thank you the sync works fine. My actual task is to store the AD users and groups in our
company database through the fedora-ds. I was wondering if this is possible,
Like AD-->FDS-->Own database
IS this a possibility?. If it is then how would I do it?

Use the console if you can, otherwise use the command line tools. The
console really assumes you are in an enterprise environment which has a
real CA, which you can actually submit cert requests to and receive
certs from.

don't have it in neither of them now because I installed the CA from the console.

You can export the CA cert from the cert db using the console I think,
and definitely using the command line.

script or anyways?

You do not have to use TLS/SSL with windows sync - only if you will be
using the password sync component.
