Why was this chosen? Why is not -extensions v3_req used in the certificate creation?
Because it has to be able to sign itself?
I just checked a couple RFCs. If this is a root CA cert, of course it is self-signed. By definition.
But a self-signed server cert is not a CA root cert....
it is a CA root certificate if I say it is.
Fine. Be that way. But then you still need a server cert to use in the SSL default virtual host.
Root certs are for signing other certs, not for using directly in applications.
