How does the > I assume you mean display the "MYNOTEBOOK" (end-entity) cert with x509 -text [-noout]. What does it show for Subject: and Issuer: ? (Or more concisely, you can do x509 -subject -issuer -noout .) Issuer in the EE cert must be the same as both names (Subject AND Issuer) in the *CA* cert, and Subject in the EE cert must be *different*. If it's not, either you answered the prompts with duplicate values when creating the CSR(s), or your config file(s) had prompt=no and duplicate values. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
