Hi all,

ok, I've stared at the manuals for a while, and tried to test things,
but I think I'm at a point where I need some help.

Let me first start with my goal. I run many systems running Apache with
mod_ssl, and have built an interface to automatically install
certificates on domains as needed. The system works great, right up
until someone puts in the wrong certs for chain or root certs when it is
required. Then, apache fails to load because the chain isn't correct...

So, what I'm trying to do is figure out if the certs that are entered
comprise a correct chain.

I've been messing around with the verify command that looks something
like this :

openssl verify -purpose sslserver cert.crt

where cert.crt is the cert and its CAcert and the root cert in pem
format...this is done on the command line, and it always gives me this
error :

error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate

and I'm not sure what that really means...do I need to specify valid
root certs? am I calling this wrong???

Any help would be appreciated,

Tim.
