Information to be put on the certificate is verified by the trusted Certificate Authority (CA) on which almost all the browsers trust.

To get a certificate from a trusted CA, you need to submit a certificate signing request. After verification, CA will issue a certificate.

And it is the browser or client of SSL who actually verifies the certificate on the basis of trusted certificate available with it.

Certificate which you created using open ssl is not trusted certificate.Submit the file ending in .csr to a commercial SSL provider for signing. You will receive a signed file after the CA signs the request.
