AltocumulusIntermediate chain or Ca bundle in client and server ssl
Hello friends,
I am trying to understand the purpose or usage of chain certificate or ca bundle in client and server ssl profiles
Does the chain is required for all well known ca's...
Sam,
The purpose of the chain certificate or ca bundle is so that path validation (or certificate chaining) can be done on the certificate during the certificate validation process. It can also be used, in the client ssl profile, to advertise so that the client has a better idea of which certificates might be accepted.
