To make sure I understand, you start with a Root CA which I
assume you generated yourself and is self-signed? Then if you generate
server certificates from this one, and use these with a spice host, all
is working fine.
But if you generate an intermediate CA from the Root CA instead, and
then generate server certificates from the intermediate CA, then spice
connections fail with the error you pasted?

Did you run the openssl verify -CAfile /etc/pve/pve-root-ca.pem
/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem command you gave on a certificate using the
intermediate CA?
