Hello,

some recent changes in openssl (1.0.0) done by Stephen Henson
are about an addition to have policy checking in path validation.

I am trying to find out how to configure a small hierarchy with
one root and one operational CA, i.e. one that issues certs to
end entities, in the following way:

The operational CA (by itself as a standalone CA) has two policies
i.e. it may create end entities with a OID 1 and others with OID 2
as a certificatePolicy.

The root CA is a trust anchor for some application, let's say
a web server or some email signature validator.

The root CA wants to issue a certificate that limits
a valid path only for those end entity certs with, let's say
OID 1, and for the others the path would not be valid.

I think that 'openssl verify' in 1.0.0-beta2 should be usable
as is for testing.

TIA for any hint.
Peter Sylvester
