The verify(1ssl) man page has descriptions of these error codes. 7 is "X509_V_ERR_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE: certificate signature failure", which is described as: the signature of the certificate is invalid.
I would presume that this is because the signature cannot be verified with the public key that it's said to be verifiable with -- i.e., the data in one of the certificates has been modified since it was signed (and thus, the signature has been invalidated). -Kyle H On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 5:15 PM, .:: Francesco la Torre ::. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On sab, 2008-08-02 at 00:21 +0200, .:: Francesco la Torre ::. wrote: > > One mistake is here even if there were not compilation error > >> and also add this line to the main >> X509_STORE_set_verify_cb_func(&ca_ctx,cb); >> > > the correct code block is : > > ... > /* load CA cert store */ > if (!(CAcerts = X509_STORE_new())) { > printf ("\nError1\n"); > } > ---> X509_STORE_set_verify_cb_func(CAcerts,cb); > ... > > > >> but the result is always the same : >> > > Not always the boring "Verification error: certificate signature > failure" > > But a new strange error : > > > /C=IT/ST=Italy/O=IIT-CNR/OU=lab18/CN=ubuntu-ser/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > error 7 at 1 depth lookup:certificate signature failure > Verification error: 0 > > > I've tried to find any kind of reference for this kind of error but > google returns not a very good help. > > In various forum/mailing list this is _classified_ as *quite strange* > error ... is it possible ? > > Thanks in advance, > Flt > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org > User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org > Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
