Hi there,
I have a question about certificate chain checkin when the chain
includes a root certificate.
The server I want to connect to with openssl s_client (Version 0.9.8zc)
sends this certificate chain:
0 s:Server's cert
i:Intermediate cert
1 s:Intermediate cert
i:Root 1 cert
2 s:Root 1 cert
i: Root 2 cert
3 s:Root 2 cert
i:Root 2 cert
If my CA file includes the self signed Root 1 cert, but not the "Root 2
cert" I get "Verify return code: 19 (self signed certificate in
certificate chain)"
If I add the Root 2 cert to the CA file everything is fine.
If I try openssl verify on the Server's cert with a CA file including
Intermediate cert and self-signed Root 1 cert, but not Root 2 cert,
verify reports OK.
My view was that the Root 1 cert in the CA file should verify the chain.
Obviously it does not, but why?
Are two certificates with the same subject but different issuer
considered different? Or is this an issue with my ancient openssl version?
Kind regards
Ted
