I try to get a correct validation for a https server. My problem is that certtool says that everthing is find and gnutls-cli fails. Configuration: - server cert + intermediate ca + root ca - server sends only the server cert and the intermediate CAAs I can see in the output you sent me the server is sending 6 certificates and they do not form a certificate chain. In TLS a certificate chain is formed by having a list where the next certificate certifies the previous. Thus the issuer's DN in certificate [0] should be the same as the subject'sDN in certificate [1] and so on. So I believe it is normal for verification to fail.
The server must only send its own cert. Any other information like intermediate and root CA certs are opional. The server has not to send a complete chain. Therefore the browsers have no problem with this page because they know the root CA cert and mostly the intermediate CA cert. So actually I think it's a bug in GnuTLS - especially because the other clients are able to verify the server. Nevertheless I initiated a reconfiguration of the server (luckily we control the server).
