Summary0001348: svn.cacert.org SSL/TLS configuration rated grade B on SSL Labs
DescriptionHi!

There is an SSL/TLS configuration issue on svn.cacert.org:

The server certificate is issued by CAcert Class 3 Root which is also delivered while establishing a connection. But the CAcert Class 3 Root does not have the CA extension enabled:

--------------------snip--------------------
  X509v3 extensions:
    X509v3 Basic Constraints: critical
      CA:FALSE
--------------------snip--------------------

Therefore a *complete* chain of trust can neither be created nor verified.

Finally this leads to a grade B rating on the SSL Labs test. (This is independent of the fact that the SSL Labs test is based on the Mozilla certificate store, which the CAcert root certificate is not part of. A well known problem, which does, however, cause no harm here.)

A solution is to also deliver the CAcert root certificate.

Thanks for looking into this issue.

Mathias
