Yepz, i have a valid root CA cert under Certification Authorities?

I maked a new one: the root CA is now hermes.ignl.be and the host key now is calin.ignl.be, but still this error ...

Both are selected and the details are showing indeed Subject Type=CA

Seems to me the client cert is valid and is binded with the openssl CA
The common name on Issuer of host key is:
CN=hermes.ignl.be
The subject here is:
CN=calin.ignl.be

The common name of the issuer of CA is:
CN=hermes.ignl.be
The subject here is:
CN=hermes.ignl.be

Is that correct ?
