Certificate Chain Order

An SSL Certificate Chain links your intermediate certificate(s) to the trusted root certificate. When using a certificate chain, the SSL certificates in the chain must be listed in the following order:

  1. ilom.cer

  2. intermediate.cer(s)

  3. root.trusted_CA.cer

Example: Create Certificate Chain

cat ilom.cer intermediate.cer root_trusted_CA.cer > cer-chain.cer

where:

  • cat represents the Symantec command used in this example to create a certificate chain file (cer-chain.cer).

  • ilom.cer is the sender's certificate, which must come first in list.

  • any intermediate.cer that follows must directly certify the proceeding certificate.

  • root_trusted_CA.cer represents the root certificate issued by the Certificate Authority.
