I am asking this as I have the basic question about certificate signing

      -> I have my self-sign CA "A" and CA key file "B"
      -> I create another RSA key pair "EVP_PKEY *pkey" to be used for
child leaf certificates
      -> I create a certificate "X509 *x" (that supposed to be child of my CA)
                  I am setting public key by, that will set public key
part of rsa key "pkey", to my certificate "x"
                  X509_set_pubkey(x,pkey)
          And I am signing certificate with my private key
                  x509_sign(x,pkey)

          Then How can I make my normal server certificate "x" as a child of
          my CA certificate "A", do i need to sign it with "B".

          I am confuse which keys to set in X509_set_pubkey() and  X509_sign
          when I want a certificate appeared to be issued by my CA.

Thanks all.
Saurabh
