I get the following output
/tmp/cert.pem: CN = ..., O = ..., ST = ..., C = ...
error 19 at 1 depth lookup:self signed certificate in certificate chain
of couse the number 19 means 'self signed certificate in certificate
chain'
as shown here: https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/verify.html
but what does the number 1 (at ... depth) say?
It means that while constructing a chain, the immediate issue of the
leaf certificate was an untrusted self-signed certificate. The leaf
certificate has depth 1, its issuer has depth 0.
Ah, ok; in case there had been a chain with 3 certificates
2 means the leaf certificate, 1 means the issuing intermediate and 0
means the self signed root?
No,
0 is always the leaf,
1 is always the issuer of the leaf
2 is always the issuer of the issuer of the leaf
etc.
So for a chain with 3 certificates, 2 is the root.
Enjoy
