You have generated a CA with name X. Then you generated a Certificate to be signed
by X, however you also use X in the certificate.

The CN= of your Root CA may not be identical to the CN= of any certificates it signs.
Therefor, you should always include the string "CA" or "Certificate Agency" in the Root
CA's CN=
