Re: [openssl-users] How to set CA:TRUE, in an existing cert

2010-05-12 Thread Darázs Attila
So basically if I don't find a cert with the correct options, I'm screwed.
Thank you for the explanation.

First, you can't modify an existing certificate without invalidating
its signature.
Second, this certificate is a V1 one, and extensions were added to V3
of the X.509 standard. You can't then add the basicConstraints
extension.
