Hi

Yep I have tried the output to text. but does that verify the signature.

So what I think I have now is

my data to be signed
I make a request
send the request to the tsa
the tsa signs it adds signature
I have response.

Now I need to verify it

openssl ts -verify -data SHA.sha -in SHA.sha.tsr

but it seems to fail, I presume (newbie), because I don't have the
intermediary certs .

I presume symantec have signed it with a cert thats rooted in one of
their main CA's and I presume for me to verify I need the
intermediaries or atleast the sign cert's ca.


I have looked on symantecs site to no available

and I am working on guess work here
