Steve, Many thanks for the very competent answer. We noticed the UTF8 encoding but thought about it as a "why not?" matter (and we didn't look into a RFC neither). The CA is a Microsoft Shop and Internet Explorer is happy with the certificates they issue. I'll check their site again for somthin

Chris, this is the issue... the public key and private key of trust.pem are not the same as the keys for trust_new.pem. They have the same fields in the DN, but do not share the same keys (if they do then this is bad practice by the issuers), so it is a different key that signed the a-sign.pem and

Hello Chris, You can not just replace the trust.pem with trust_new.pem as the new root ca cert (trust_new.pem) did not sign the sub ca cert (a-sign.pem) and so the chain is broken. They need to give you a new ca cert and server cert. Thanks for the answer. I must admit that I'm not very familiar

Dear group, I have a server certificate signed by a local CA company and the root certificate that signed it expires very soon. The CA company gave us a new root certificate but with the new root certificate OpenSSL is no longer able to successfully verify the server certificate. The working c
