I created a self-signed certificate with OpenSSL. When using the -purpose parameter to examine the certificate I see some warnings in the output.

Can someone explain this warnings ?

C:\OpenSSL\keys>C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl x509 -in ca.crt -purpose

Certificate purposes:
SSL client : Yes
SSL client CA : Yes (WARNING code=3)
SSL server : Yes
SSL server CA : Yes (WARNING code=3)

Wim

is the warning due to the fact that the cert is not from a trusted root CA? – kafka Apr 27 '12 at 15:06
