hi!

Can I verify a message or just a certificate WITHOUT having all the issuer certificats (up to the RootCA) in my store?? Is there a option in the commandline tools? I was not able to find one in the man-pages.


You can verify a message without checking the certificate's validity by using the -noverify option of openssl smime (http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/smime.html#-noverify).

You can not check a certificate's validity without the certificate chain leading to a CA certificate trusted by you (not necessarily, but usually a root certificate). And it would not make any sense either.

Hope it helps
