Please help me out all of you experts. I have configured client side SSL profile and uploaded certificate, also put CA bundle of all certificates uptill root in Trusted certificate authorities. The problem i am having is that still the SSL secure handshake is failed. And Open SSl shows that there is a self signed certificate in the chain which is root certificate. How to tell F5 that root certificate will always be self signed and ignore it. I did all the need full in browser. Please help

We have an weird situation. While set upping a connection our application perform a bunch of security checks. One of these is to check if the chain length is correct. We know that it should be 3: Root, intermediate and server.

 

When we are connecting to a server using Android application we get as a response only two certificates intermediate and server - no root(anchor). But when we perform checking thought web browser we see 3 and on Android see two of them. Connection form iOS results in 3 certificates.

 

Is it a server or Android? What we can do to get also root certificate? Presently pinning in Intermediate only, will it be fine ??
