[openssl-users] Certificate validating (openssl -verify ...) and interpreting messages

[Walter H.]

Hello,

when
running this:



/tmp/chain.pem contains a root certificate


I get the following output

/tmp/cert.pem: CN = ..., O = ..., ST = ..., C = ...
error 19 at 1 depth lookup:self signed certificate in certificate chain

of couse the number 19 means 'self signed certificate in certificate chain'
as shown here: https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/verify.html

but what does the number 1 (at ... depth) say?



Thanks for help;

Greetings from Austria,
Walter

openssl verify -CAfile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt -trusted_first -untrusted /tmp/chain.pem /tmp/cert.pem /tmp/cert.pem contains a certificate that was signed by this root certificate; does this reference a certificate of the whole chain, if so, which one the root or the other one?
