Yes, it's in "openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -text". We noticed that it's possible to ask grid-proxy-init to set a path-length with an option, but I assume you're not doing that, otherwise you would already know why the path length was a particular value.

Also, in some other mail you mentioned used myproxy-init also, I believe. If that is true, I would be interested to see the value both before and after you load it into myproxy.

I'm also using grid-proxy-init. How'd you extract that snippet below, an "openssl x509" query?

I am reminded by someone who knows more than I do that the pathlen only shows up in proxies.

How are you getting your proxy?  When I run grid-proxy-init, I get:

          Proxy Certificate Information: critical
              Path Length Constraint: infinite
              Policy Language: Inherit all

Beats me. When I look at my cert with openssl x509 -text, I don't see a path length constraint.

I tinkered with the -xo and the -xi options but no luck but I'm not
sure I'm doing it correctly.  The <dcau>false</dcau> inside the

My naive question is, who's your issuer and why did they put a pathlen 2 restriction on your certificate? It seems like either they could remove
that restriction or you could get a different issuer.

I have trusted CAs ... I've cleared the diags ... does it matter one red-cent what the path length is besides zero "0"? I thought anything
over "0" was chain-able ... educate me or point me elsewhere...
