Hi Caro,

A certificate will only be recognized as an "internal" certificate if it
was issued by this CA which means in the DB that the "req_key" is set.

Option 1) Create a dummy realm and import the certificates as entity
certificates which is done by setting a profile on certificate import,
you can then reference those items via the signer rules, note that you
must set the realm attribute in the realm as the default is to use the
current realm only.

Option 2) Set the "allow_external_signer" flag and *do not* import the
end entity certificates (this will confuse the logic)

You should find detailed information in the docs of
OpenXPKI::Server::Workflow::Activity::Tools::EvaluateSignerTrust.

best regards

Oliver
