Hi,

> What does the "(myself)" part do to validate itself?

It just means that the server successfully created a signature for
authentication using the mentioned certificate's private key. The client
then verifies the same signature to authenticate the server.

> authentication of <client DN> with RSA successful

The server does the opposite here, verifying the signature that the
client created.
