Which means you’re not going to be a CA with all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities applying thereto, so don’t worry about It.
It sounds like they have a commercial signing certificate which has name constraints, and your domain names aren’t in scope. That’s weird.

But they don't (or rather will not) support our server domain name. So any request to our company CA to process a certificate request is denied. That's why I would like to enroll my own root CA and sign the certificates myself. Indeed the public root certificate then must be made available to all clients. > > Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, > Berry van Sleeuwen > Flight Forum 3000 5657 EW Eindhoven > > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU> On Behalf Of Alan Altmark > Sent: Friday, June 21, 2019 8:57 PM > To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: Re: Building a Certificate Authority > > On Friday, 06/21/2019 at 04:27 GMT, "van Sleeuwen, Berry" > <berry.vansleeu...@atos.net> wrote: >> It's not so much wanting to be a CA but we do need to move into >> SSL/TLS > secured >> services.
