Issue with creating an issuing CA in Cloud PKI
I have activated an trial license for Cloud PKI a couple of days ago. I follow this guide to create a Root and Issuing CA https://oliverkieselbach.com/2024/03/04/how-to-configure-cloud-pki-certifica...

I solved it but not in a way i was expecting it.
I had configured the root CA validity at 25 years and the Issuing CA at 10 years. That failed.
I now lowered the validity of the issuing CA to 8 years. That worked.
Is there known issue that selected 10 years results in this error?

Thanks for sharing, I was stuck on exactly the same thing.
Lowering the validity of the issuing CA to 8 years did the trick.
