Hi,

Sorry for the mistake (nothing to deal with openssl.cnf file). I was just 
looking for ca.txt file.

Is it normal behavior of openssl to be able to view a certificate without 
serial number using (without any error mentioned):
openssl x509 -in some_cert_without_sn.pem -text
But to be unable to verify it using:
openssl verify -CAfile some_cert_without_sn.pem some_cert_without_sn.pem


Sample: (attached self-sign cert name pipo-bad.pem)

hmm, the attached certificate as has a serial number it's 0x0

well the signature really seems to be wrong. How did you create
the certificate ?

Cheers,
