^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Signing requires both the certificate and the private key.
You specified just "-signer", so it is expected that "user.pem" contains
both the cert and the key, i.e., it should look like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[ PEM encoding of the cert. ]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[ PEM encoding of the private key. ]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
If user.pem contains just the cert and your private key is in another
file, say, userkey.pem, then add the option "-inkey userkey.pem".
