<div dir="ltr"><div><div>OK, here's what I'm really struggling with. I'm trying to get SSL going on a redhat-3 box. I've done enough research to know it's not working because SSL can't find the trusted cert. I figured out that openssl won't trust a self-signed certificate unless you install it a specific directory and link the hash.<br>
<br></div>All of which, can, at least on paper, be verified by running 'openssl verify cert.file'<br><br></div>My question is this. Does your certificate authority (CA) cert, in and of itself have to be trusted as well? What about the key?<br>
<br># openssl verify /etc/pki/tls/myca.crt<br>/etc/pki/tls/myca.crt: CN = XXXXXXXXXXXX, emailAddress = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX<br>error 18 at 0 depth lookup:self signed certificate<br><br><div><div><div><div class="gmail_quote">
