We are talking about different things. You are talking about signatures

i'm talking about if the approve with signing is safe or not and it is safe - the way its coded now, since an expired cert can't sign a request because it is catched during signature verification

so the certificate-verification code isn't reached anymore in case of an failure 
before...
and an expired cert 'throws' an error

and I'm talking about certs. You can use

$db->getItem (DATATYPE => "VALID_CERTIFICATE", KEY => 123)

and you get an expired certificate without any warnings. If you do this with DBI then nothing happens. You get a simple undef.

so this is a problem, but i don't use this call anyway
but the dbm interface should be changed then - i think

and i havn't checked what:
my $tmpCert = libGetSignerCertificateDB( SIGNATURE=>$signer );

calls internal... ;o)
