Sorry, I did not completely understand your answer.
What is correct: my understanding or the behaviour of openCA.
I reformulate my question:
Why does a SubCA put the info of the RootCA into the authority key identifier field and not its own info?
Thanx
Pierre

Hi
I have a question about the authorithy key identifier field in the certificates.
I have set up an test enviroment with a RootCA and a SubCA.
If I correctly understood the aim of the authority key identifier field,
this field contains the id of the public key corresponding to the private
key that signed the certificate.
Now I found out that in all certificates I issue on my SubCA, the authority
key field contains the info of my RootCA and not of my SubCA??
(I'm using openCA 0.9.1-1)
Can someone give me a hint. What behaviour is correct?
Pierre
Correct.
