+Subject: [PATCH] Allow certificate validation with SHA-1 signatures.
+
+RHEL OpenSSL builds disable SHA-1 signatures. This causes certificate
+validation to fail when using the X509_V_FLAG_CHECK_SS_SIGNATURE flag
+with a chain where the last certificate uses a SHA-1 signature.
+
+This removes X509_V_FLAG_CHECK_SS_SIGNATURE flag to have the default
+OpenSSL behavior for certificate validation.
