To properly establish the SSL certificate chain, completing the chain of trust is essential, which requires both the intermediate and root CA certificates. If you’ve chosen a PrimeSSL certificate with ECC key encryption and organization validation, the intermediate certificate is necessary to complete the chain and establish trust with the Sectigo Public Server Authentication Root E46.
You can download or copy the intermediate certificate from the PrimeSSL CA bundle. It includes ECC encryption and organization validation, secured by Sectigo’s Public Server Authentication Root E46.
Copy the entire certificate, including the —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—– and —–END CERTIFICATE—– lines, into a text editor and save it to your server.
