Hi Dave,

a few hints which might help here:

In our installation old signatures on the CSRs are broken, too (I see
this when I go to the CA interface, Information, Certificate Requests,
Archived). In the list there is an error displayed, and if I click on
the CSR's serial and then on the icon "Signature Error" I can see more
details. In my case it lists a few things, but the main error seems to
be that the RA-operator certificate which was used to sign the request
has expired. But maybe in your case the error has a different reason,
but these messages might be a starting point for debugging.

Furthermore, when reading your mail about the different versions of
openssl it also came to my mind that openssl has changed the convention
how hashes are formed between the version branches 0.9.8 and 1.0.0.

An openssl 1.0.x binary can do both hashes

openssl x509 help
...
 -subject_hash   - print subject hash value
 -subject_hash_old   - print old-style (MD5) subject hash value
...

If there are any hashes involved (e.g. in building the certificate
chain) rehashing might help to solve some issues.
there is also a binary caled c_rehash to do this task for a whole directory.

kind regards
Martin
