When running the cert chains through our validator, we found that CA
certificates lack the Key Usage extension (which must be present), and
that Basic Constraints are not always critical.
Thanks for the great work on the test suite, it was quite useful.
Cheers,
Sam
>From RFC3280:
4.2.1.3 Key Usage
...
This extension MUST appear in certificates that contain public keys
that are used to validate digital signatures on other public key
certificates or CRLs.
4.2.1.10 Basic Constraints
...
This extension MUST appear as a critical extension in all CA
certificates that contain public keys used to validate digital
signatures on certificates.
