Hi,

Sorry for the mistake (nothing to deal with openssl.cnf file). I was just 
looking for ca.txt file.

Is it normal behavior of openssl to be able to view a certificate without 
serial number using (without any error mentioned):
openssl x509 -in some_cert_without_sn.pem -text
But to be unable to verify it using:
openssl verify -CAfile some_cert_without_sn.pem some_cert_without_sn.pem


Sample: (attached self-sign cert name pipo-bad.pem)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] simple]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ossl-0.9.8/lib 
/usr/local/ossl-0.9.8/bin/openssl verify -verbose -CAfile pipo-bad.pem 
pipo-bad.pem
pipo-bad.pem: /C=UK/CN=OpenSSL Group
error 7 at 0 depth lookup:certificate signature failure
18588:error:04077068:rsa routines:RSA_verify:bad signature:rsa_sign.c:218:
18588:error:0D0C5006:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_item_verify:EVP 
lib:a_verify.c:168:


I'm using openssl 0.9.8.

regards,


Fred

Hi all,

CA certificate, see ca.txt."
