Description
Authority
SSL authority certificate.
RSA or DSA certificates are allowed.
The format of the authority certificate can be PEM or PKCS7. PEM files
must start with
“-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
” and end with
“---
--END CERTIFICATE-----
”. Some Certificate Authorities add
comments before and/or after these lines. Those need to be deleted
before upload.
