RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Adrian Likins 2015-09-24 12:56:03 UTC 
Description of problem:


We have a config option to set the X.509 server cert chain verify
depth to 3.

It was made configurable to address https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649374
because it was explicitly set to '1' before that.

Why 3? (aside from 'thats what the current subscription.rhn.redhat.com cert needs to
get to redhat-uep.pem').

The openssl default seems to be 100 (https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_verify.html)

My vote would be to let it fall to the openssl default by not explicitly setting it.
AFAICT, there is no utility to limiting the verify depth. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Pretty much all GA versions. But at least as new as: 
subscription-manager-1.16.2
python-rhsm-1.16.2
