A Diffie-Hellman certificate can not be used to sign other certificates.

Explanation

An Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) certificate with only the keyAgreement keyusage set (or together with encipherOnly or decipherOnly) is an ECC Diffie-Hellman certificate. The intended usage is for key exchange, not for signing. Any RACDCERT commands that involve signing with this type of certificate fails. For example, GENREQ or REKEY on an ECC Diffie-Hellman certificate or GENCERT a self-signed or GENCERT SIGNWITH an ECC Diffie-Hellman certificate.

System action

RACDCERT does not process the request.

User response

Reissue the command using a certificate that is not an ECC Diffie-Hellman certificate, or reissue the command specifying other KeyUsage bits in addition to KEYAGREE.
