SEC_ERROR_BAD_DER hi, this error code means "A certificate is not properly encoded according to ASN.1 (DER) encoding" according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/SecurityEngineering/x509Certs#Error_Codes_in_Firefox
I called for more help.
Certificate 1

So the second certificate appears to be for
*.local
I'm not seeing the Authority Key ID in that certificate. It should match the Subject Key ID of the signing certificate. If you use
right-click > View Page Info > Security > View Certificate
on a page in Firefox, you should see those fields for certificates that pass validation. When using an online decoder, it will appear in the Extensions section. For example:
I have added the Authority Key ID to the cert, but still the same error:

I have found what is wrong. FF does not accept wildcards for the top level domains, so I can't issue a cert for *.local, but I can for *.project.local
That makes sense. Thank you for reporting back on that.
