Hi,
this shouldn't be, because you marked this extension as critical;
what is your OpenSSL release?
and in case of Linux, which distro (version/release) are you using?

Hi all,
although I issued a certificate for an intermediate CA (CA2) with a
pathlength of zero (pathlen:0), I could use this certificate to create
certificates for further CAs (CA3).
Due to pathlen:0 I expected openssl would either cancel creation of sub-CAs
with an error massage or would create normal client certificate instead of
CA certificates.
It seems as if opennssl doesn't consider the restrictions imposed by a
pathlength of zero or the configuration I use is incomplete.
Hope you can help me with this problem
Thanks& Regards
