aha, I am sure enough that our certificates don't have altName feature. OK, 
I'll check it ...

But I can't understand it, why it does rely on (optional) altName when email 
can be 
obtained from the standard DN ??

> 	subjectAltName=email:intevation@intevation.de,URI:http://intevation.net
> 	issuerAltName=email:intevation@intevation.de,URI:http://intevation.net

this is your personalized openssl.conf settings , isn't it?
