Hello guys,

This question is for OpenCA developers. Did predefined OpenCA certificates
profiles are up to valid RFC's? 

Why asking? In RFC 3280 (in 2459 also) for Key Usage are defined :

   This extension MUST appear in certificates that contain public keys
   that are used to validate digital signatures on other public key
   certificates or CRLs.  When this extension appears, it SHOULD be
   marked critical.

As I understand from this - CA (in most cases) must have key usage extension
and CA/end user certificates which have key usage ext. MUST have it marked
critical. By default OpenCA certificates are issued with non critical
extensions. Is this bug in OpenCA or those certificates profiles are defined
only as examples?

Regards,

Dmitrij
