[openssl-users] CSR verify failure

I see the same errors with 1.0.2n.

Going by posts I see out-and-about about this error, there seem to be two possibilities:

1) There’s an RSA padding scheme mismatch. Maybe your openssl.cnf has something nonstandard, e.g., raw padding rather than PKCS1?

2) The signature is simply incorrect. It’s been a while since I did this, but I *believe* you could check this by extracting the bytes for the first-nested SEQUENCE from the ASN.1 structure, get the signature for that blob against your private key, then compare that to the CSR’s stored signature. They should be the same.

Also, did you verify that the modulus and exponent as stored in the CSR match up against your private key file?
