I would expect such constraints to only apply when certificates are being *verified*. There seems to be little point in preventing a CA from attempting to sign violating certificates.
Yes I later tried to "verify" and I still got no complaints. Does OpenSSL trust chain validation include any checks on name constraints? If there is an additional step that i need to apply for this verification to happen then i don't know that and I'd appreciate if you detailing that please. thanks.
