Fwd: Is this a bad certificate? (Having nine-bit long key usage extension)

Hi!

Are you sure you got your configuration correct?   I could decode both
these certificates using  OTP-24.0.4.
Looking at your error row 1975 in ssl_handshake is this clause:

path_validation_alert({bad_cert, invalid_signature}) ->
    ?ALERT_REC(?FATAL, ?BAD_CERTIFICATE);

This indicates that we could not find a validate the certificate chain and
that a signature check failed.
We will enhance the alert creation with extra info for the log message (as
done in many other places).

Could you create dummy certs with a dummy key that fails so that I can
recreate your scenario?
You can send them to [email protected]
