failed with

ERROR: Alternative chain with CN = 'DST Root CA X3' not found, available options: DST Root CA X3, ISRG Root X1

The parsing logic for certificate-specific config does not handle quotes correctly. See

Trim single quotes from config_value does fix the issue for my use case. I'm looking forward to a better way.

FOO=\'
