Georgi,

I think here is the misunderstanding: The 'cert' file is expected to
contain the whole certificate chain, i.e. all three certificates, CA,
intermediate and domain (see the man page).

The 'CAfile' is for additional certificates needed to verify the
client's certificates (if presented or verification is required).

HTH,

Ludolf
