TLS with selfsigned certificate

Question

I\'m trying to establish a TLS connection with the use of a self signed server certificate.

I generated the certificate with this example code: http://golang.org/src

Answer 1

It finally worked with the go built in x509.CreateCertificate, the problem was that I did not set the IsCA:true flag, I only set the x509.KeyUsageCertSign which made creating the self signed certificate work, but crashed while verifying the cert chain.
