Add Intermediate CA cert file to your ssl cert

to add intermediate CA cert to your ssl cert, you need to add it in the following order:

  • site.com.crt
  • intermediate.crt (one or more, the order of these doesn't matter)
  • ROOT.crt
the result file should look something like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
site cert
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
intermediate cert
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
root cert
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
 
 
You can test your site's cert using the tool on this page:
