Certs Failing on Ubuntu 22.04  #218

Description

My generated CA and server certs do not work on my Ubuntu 22.04 host. Find a test script below. Does anyone have any hints on how to fix? Thanks in advance...

#!/usr/bin/env bash 

# this script is to test certstrap on ubuntu 22.04 
# - generating certs - works
# - installing certs in trusted root store - works 
# - testing installed certs - fails
# 
# this script requires: 
# - certstrap - to generate a RootCA and Server cert
# - certigo - to inspect and validate certs
# - openssl - to run a test server and a test client 
# - curl - to run a test client 
# - browser - to run a test client 

export args="-o TestOrg -c US" 

echo "----- Generate RootCA (MyCA) and Server Cert (mycert)"

certstrap init $args -cn MyCA
certstrap request-cert $args --domain localhost --cn mycert
certstrap sign mycert --CA MyCA 

echo "----- Install MyCA into trusted root store" 

sudo cp out/MyCA.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates
sudo update-ca-certificates 

echo "------ Examine the generated certs"

echo "Dump using certigo..." 
certigo dump out/mycert.crt 

echo "Verify using certigo..." 
certigo verify --name=localhost out/mycert.crt 

echo "------ test server" 

echo "AFTER THE TEST SERVER STARTS, RUN TEST CLIENTS IN ANOTHER TERMINAL..."
echo "#> TESTCLIENT-1 - Connect using certigo..."
echo "certigo connect localhost:4444" 
echo "#> TESTCLIENT-2 - Pull using openssl s_client..."
echo "echo | openssl s_client -connect localhost:4444"
echo "#> TESTCLIENT-3 - Pull using curl" 
echo "curl https://localhost:4444"
echo "#> TESTCLIENT-4 - try in browser: https://localhost:4444"
echo "#"
echo "----- Starting test server!!"

openssl s_server --port 4444 -www -key out/mycert.key -cert out/mycert.crt 

# TEST NOTES ON MY SYSTEM (Ubuntu 22.04): 
#
# TESTCLIENT-1 and TESTCLIENT-2 WORKS 
# TESTCLIENT-3 (curl https://localhost:4444) FAILS (no client cert available)
# TESTCLIENT-4 (chrome-browser https://localhost:4444) FAILS (NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID) 
#
# WHY???????
