Intermediate certificates

On the CSS, how do you install intermediate certificates so client browsers can know to trust your SSL certificate? Do you combine all three certificates into one associated certificate. e.g.
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
xxx
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
yyy
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
zzz
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
or associate each certificate?

Danian,
Examine this page, it covers the details of how to do this. The section of interest to you is the box which discussed obtaining and installing the verisign intermediate cert -

Basically you have the concept correct, but the order of certs in the chain is important.

  • Add intermediate certificate to signed jar

    Is it possible to add an intermediate certificate to a signed jar file?
    The users of my applet are asked to trust the certificate showing the hint that the source is not trusted. The root certificate of my code signing certificate is included in the trusted sources.
    Thanks,
    Reinhard

    I have already a full trusted chain consisting of the root, an intermediate certificate and my code signing certificate. The root is included in Java�s trusted roots. But if I sign my jar with my code signing certificate, Java can not build the trust chain, as it does not have the intermediate certificate. If it would be possible to include the intermediate certificate certificate it would work, but appearantly this is not possible with jarsigner.

  • Intermediate Certificates and Yosemite Server

    After several attempts at installing my server's certificate from StartSSL, which requires an intermediate certificate, I finally have everything working except opendirectory/LDAP.  The slapd service simply refuses to send the intermediate certificate along with the server certificate on SSL/636 connections.  It is supposed to send both.
    Anyone know what I need to do to kick slapd into serving all the proper certificates in the chain like the other services (Calendar, Web Server, etc) are doing?

    Been wrestling with this myself for months. Found this on serverfault:
    http://serverfault.com/questions/653419/how-can-one-force-open-directory-server- to-provide-its-full-certificate-chain-to
    Short Answer: slapd can't send the full chain.

  • Digicert Intermediate Certificate suddenly failing...

    Hi all! 
    We have an install base of a few hundred Macs ranging from 10.7 to 10.10.  Suddenly, several of the machines seem to be missing the Digicert SHA2 Secure Server CA intermediate certificate.  We noticed the problem after several users reported warnings with our VPN appliance, which uses Digicert certs for ID. 
    Reinstalling the certificate from Digicert's site clears up the issue, but I'm trying to root cause the problem.  The issue appears to happen only on 10.9.x, and seems to happen before OR after the 2015.004 security patch.  The patch does not resolve the problem.
    I know folks have reported similar issues with Verisign certs and the 2015.004 update. 
    Any ideas?  I've only seen this on a very small fraction of systems, so I'm not super concerned, but it is annoying...

    I have this issue also. I opened this

    I was wondering if there is a way to provide intermediate ssl certificates on the css. We used to upload the pem cert and key and this always worked. Recently we have changed to premium ssl certs from verisign and it looks like we will need to provide the intermediate certificate on the css.
    Does anybody know any reference as to how we can do this ?
    Kind regards,

    Hi,
    No need to look, found it on the net.

  • Intermediate certificates not refreshed

    Hi,
    We have just renewed our ssl certificate with Verisign. They use an intermediate certificate so I have also updated the chain file on the server.
    The problem is that whilst firefox picks up the new site cert file, it is still using a cached version on the intermediate cert (with expiry date of 25/10/2011 instead of the new 25/10/2016).
    If I use a fresh firefox profile (or delete the cert8.db file) then the correct 2016 cert is picked up.. but I can't really expect site visitors to have to do this, and im worried that come the end of next year, people who have visited the site before and hence have the old intermediate cert, will start getting "this site is untrusted" messages from firefox.
    Anyone else come across this / have a solution?

  • Why are intermediate certificates needed within STRUST with SAP as SSL client?

    Scenario: My company is hosting various applications on a web server. Our customers connect their SAP systems to our applications using web services.  We changed one of our VeriSign web server SSL certificates a few weeks ago. This new SSL certificate was signed by a VeriSign intermediate CA which itself is signed by a new VeriSign root CA.
    In the past, we only took care that our customers have the corresponding VeriSign root certificate imported into their SAP via STRUST; in our case this is the following root certificate: http://www.verisign.com/repository/roots/root-certificates/PCA-3G5.pem
    Now as we changed the certificate on our web server, our customers can't connect to it with their SAP systems any more. We found out that it works again, if the customers additionally import the VeriSign intermediate certificates into their SAP via STRUST; in our case the following ones: https://www.verisign.com/support/verisign-intermediate-ca/secure-site-intermediate/index.html
    This is something we don't understand for two reasons:
    1.) Usually it shouldn't be necessary to have intermediate certificates on client side, only on the web server. We saved the two VeriSign intermediate certificates into one file and linked it within our Apache via the "SSLCertificateChainFile" directive. This is what we expected to be enough for all SSL clients which have the corresponding root certificate within their certificate stores.
    2.) Our old certificate was signed by an (other) intermediate certificate, too and we didn't have  this one on client side at our customers… it worked. Why? The only difference seems to be, that the old chain had only one intermediate certificate and the new one has two.
    Anyone has an answer to these questions or an idea how to avoid uploading the intermediate certificates all the time?

    have a look at this thread may be helpful for you .

  • Godaddy SSL certificate installation problems - intermediate certificate not being recognized

    domain = mail.gottfried.org
    Installed both the certificate and the intermediate certificate from godaddy (used the 10.6 mac os x version)
    Response from:
    http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=mail.gottfried.org
    The certificate is not trusted in all web browsers. You may need to install an Intermediate/chain certificate to link it to a trusted root certificate. Learn more about this error. You can fix this by following GoDaddy's Certificate Installation Instructions for your server platform. Pay attention to the parts about Intermediate certificates.
    When I check in 0000_any_443_.conf
    I see:
    SSLCertificateFile "/etc/certificates/mail.gottfried.org.1E5F3C903B64E78E3241929B16F616D1DDD130FE. cert.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/certificates/mail.gottfried.org.1E5F3C903B64E78E3241929B16F616D1DDD130FE. key.pem
    SSLCertificateChainFile "/etc/certificates/mail.gottfried.org.1E5F3C903B64E78E3241929B16F616D1DDD130FE. chain.pem
    I am assuming that the intermediate certificate should be:
    mail.gottfried.org.1E5F3C903B64E78E3241929B16F616D1DDD130FE.chain.pem
    When I look at that certicate it is the same as
    mail.gottfried.org.1E5F3C903B64E78E3241929B16F616D1DDD130FE.cert.pem
    When I check keychain and exported both the mail.gottfried.org certificate and also the starfield secure certification authority they match what was installed initially (what I downloaded from Godaddy).
    It looks like in the install process the intermediate certificate is not being linked to the ssl certificate and that the ssl certificate is being used for the chain.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    I have talked to both Godaddy and Apple Enterprise support. Godaddy has nothing past 10.6 instruction wise (though the support person really tried to help). The Apple rep couldnt really help and if I really want help from them I need to talk to integration where costs start at $700....
    Anyone have an SSL provider that worked properly with 10.8  or has really good support for mountain lion server?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks!

    While you still can, get a refund for the certificate, and get a certificate from somebody else, and preferably one that doesn't need an intermediate?  That'll be the easiest.
    If you're not doing ecommerce or otherwise dealing with web browsers and remote clients that you don't have some control over or affiliation with, you can use a private certificate and get equivalent (or arguably better) security.  Running your own certificate authority does mean you'll learn more about certificates, though.
    Here and here are general descriptions of getting certificates and intermediate certificates loaded, and some troubleshooting here and particularly here (TN2232).  I have found exiting Keychain Access to be a necessary step on various versions.  It shouldn't be, but...
    FWIW and depending on your particular DNS setup and whether you're serving multiple web sites, you'll need a multiple-domain certificate.
    Full disclosure: I've chased a few of these cases around for customers, and it can take an hour or three to sort out what the particular vendor of math, err, certificates has implemented, to confirm the particular certificate formats and possibly convert the certificates where necessary, and to generally to sort out the various posted directions and confusions.  (I'm not particularly fond of any of the major math, err, certificate vendors, either.)

  • How to import Verisign Intermediate certificate (char 2) with Oracle Wallet 10.1.0.5

    Hi,
        Recently I renewed a Verisign Certificate using Oracle Wallet 10.1.0.5 but could not apply one of the intermediate certificates (char2 encryption?).  The error message is : "Some trusted certificates could not be installed:. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?  A technician at Verisign told me that I need to contact Oracle for a patch.  Is there such a patch for Oracle Wallet version 10.1.05?
        Please help and thanks!
    Jim.

    Hi Jim,
    Which certificate did you get renewed ? root certificate or a user certificate and is it using the same CSR or did you request it via a new CSR (certificate signing request)
    Looks like the certificate chain is breaking when you are trying to import the intermediate certificate. The certs has to be imported in a order (root , intermediate and then user)
    Below doc can help you to some extent:

  • "Symantec Class 3 EV SSL CA - G2" intermediate Certificate Authority is not trusted by Firefox ?

    ''locking as duplicate of [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1014430 /questions/1014430]''
    Hallo
    We recently purchased a certificate from Symantec. It's intermediate authority is Symantec Class 3 EV SSL CA - G2, but Mozilla firefox doesn't seem to trust it. Other browsers (IE and Chrome) have the certificate chain trusted. Is there a way to add this certificate chain in Firefox, because many of our clients using Firefox are complaining and asking about our site's security.

    hello JKlecherov, firefox shouldn't give any error, when the intermediary certificate is properly linked to the root ca. please refer to symantec's documentation how to install it on your server or you can also use their tool at https://ssltools.websecurity.symantec.com/checker/views/certCheck.jsp

  • Third Party Certificate, 802.1X and Intermediate Certificate

    Hi Guys,
    Quick question:
    Have 802.1x setup with Windows Radius Server - Installed a Godaddy certificate which came with an intermediate root certificate. 
    I would like clients to validate the certificate to connect to the 802.1x, - 
    Question: Do i need to rollout the intermediate root certificate to all windows devices - laptops to validate the godaddy certificate thats presented to the wireless clients? The trusted root on the intermediate root certificate is already installed on windows
    desktops.
    THanks

    Hi,
    1. When you deploy 802.1X authenticated wired access that uses smart cards or other digital certificates for client authentication, you must deploy a private CA on your network
    by using AD CS.
    2. Purchasing certificates from a public CA, such as VeriSign, that is already trusted by Windows-based clients. This option is typically recommended for smaller networks.
    Advantages:
    Installing purchased certificates does not require as much specialized knowledge as deploying a private CA on your network, and can be easier to deploy in networks that have
    only a few NPS servers.
    Using purchased certificates can prevent specific security vulnerabilities that can exist if the proper precautions are not taken when deploying a private CA on your network.
    Disadvantages:
    This solution does not scale as well as deploying a private CA on your network. Because you must purchase a certificate for each NPS server, your deployment costs increase
    with each NPS server you deploy.
    Purchased certificates have recurring costs, because you must renew certificates prior to their expiration date.

  • Safari and Intermediate Certificates

    HI
    Per apple's safari post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6321649
    Safari has problems with certificate. Out of curiousity, can I import the intermdiate certificate's pem into the ace and then run a chaingroup? It didn't work for me but was wondering if It really didn't work or was I missing some other configs:
    crypto chaingroup INTERMEDIATE-CERT
    cert VerisignIntermediate.pem
    ssl-proxy service sslproxy
    chaingroup INTERMEDIATE-CERT

    Also seeing this - Safari 5 / OS X 10.5.8 does not recognise Verisign Class 3 EV SSL CA (see screen grab). This is related to these software releases - the same site on Safari 5.1.6 / OS X 10.7.4 handles the same certificates just fine. Why is this CA not trusted in the first setup? - the Mac is fully patched via software update.
