[openssl-users] CSR verify failure

Hey all,

Thanks a lot for your comments, they helped me to realize that I was
configuring/doing something wrong.

I was hitting the CSR creation issues on a virtual machine, and the source
of the wrong signature seems to be related to the virtualization type I was
using.
When using qemu the issue is reproduced, and when using kvm it is not
reproduced. CSR verification and crt creation is working since I changed to
kvm
virtualization type in the hypervisor.

Thanks again

Jon
