Re: Verify X.509 certificate, openssl verify returns bad signature

The encoding is invalid BER. The openssl is tolerant but also destructive in copy. whenever you use openssl x509 -in -out ... you remove one leading 0 octet. IMHO openssl should reject the cert because of invalid encoding. On 08/29/2010 04:17 AM, Mounir IDRASSI wrote: Hi, The problem you a

Hi Peter, Although the certificate's encoding of the serial number field breaks the BER specification about the minimal bytes representation, it is known that many CA's and libraries treat this field as a blob and usually encode it on a fixed length basis without caring about leading zeros. Specif

We're trying to generate self signed certs and don't seem to keep the attributes after a csr is signed by a self generated CA via openssl (i.e.: OIDs specified in openssl.cfg drop off the server cert after signed, thus creating a V1 cert). Here is an example of the syntax I'm using: Generat
