### Signing the Intermediate Certificate
```sh
openssl ca -config /root/ca/openssl.cnf -extensions v3_intermediate_ca -days 3650 -notext -md sha256 -in intermediate.req -out intermediate.cer
```
You might notice, that - probably due to an error in the lab's paper - signing the certificate is not working.
This is caused by the `policy_strict` policy which requires the country, city and company of certificate requests to equal with the corresponding fields of the CA's certificate.
Change the CA's `policy` configuration to `policy_loose` in order to address the issue:
```sh
sed -i 's/^\(policy *= policy_\)strict/\1loose/' /root/ca/openssl.cnf
```
After that, signing works properly:
```sh
openssl ca -config /root/ca/openssl.cnf -extensions v3_intermediate_ca -days 3650 -notext -md sha256 -in intermediate.req -out intermediate.cer
```
