and with explorer too.

I've got the same problem. I compiled openssl-0.9.8a with Sun Forte Studio 10.
doesn't matter, problem remains.

For the record. Created our own root-CA, signed it by himself,
Created server-certificate and signed it by the just created root-CA.
Loaded the root-CA into firefox/explorer and configured apache with the 
server-certificate without errors.
firefox and explorer complain with unknown error, when initiated https-request.

On command-line, I've verified the certificate with
openssl verify -issuer_checks -CApath /var/opt/openssl 
/etc/opt/apache2/ssl.crt/server.crt

which results in
error 29 at 0 depth lookup:subject issuer mismatch

That seems the main problem.
Perhaps the creation of our root-CA/server-cert 
process isn't correct. Or 0.9.8a isn't as tolerant as 0.9.7.
(we followed the same procedure, as with 0.9.7 a year ago.) So it's an 
openssl-problem.

The web suggestes, that organisation-name of certificate and root-CA should be 
different in each/all parts of the name. But I'm a little bit unwilling to 
accept this argument, because it's unresonable to me. One difference should be 
sufficient. That the case in our process.

Thanks for commenting

Klaus
