This is probably not doing what you think it is doing... what are you trying 
to do here?

Ok

And there is your error - unable to get local issuer certificate... for a self 
signed certificate, this is 100% expected. First of all, you aren't 
specifying a "-CAPath /usr/share/ssl/certs/" that would possibly allow 
openssl to find the Self signed certificates. The second thing, is that 
OpenSSL is expecting to find a certificate with "BasicConstraints = CA:True" 
and "Key Usage = certSign" for the issuer certificate.

Since the certificate that you are using says that it is only valid for Web 
Authentication, then it isn't permissible for that certificate to sign itself 
(that's what certSign is about).

Anyways - I strongly recommend either just purchasing a correct certificate, 
or setting up your CA correctly to generate valid certificates.

Have fun.
