TLS Certificate Chain
A TLS server sends out a certificate to any client attempting to connect to it.
The receiver determines whether a TLS server can be trusted by verifying that
server's certificate, using the certificate (chain) stored on the receiver.
Therefore, to successfully connect to a TLS server, you must upload a valid
certificate or (partial) certificate chain to the receiver.
The uploaded certificate (chain) must contain all missing certificates "related
to" that TLS server's certificate in some way. Otherwise, the connection made
to that TLS server will fail.
•
For information on how the uploaded certificate (chain) is related to a TLS
server's certificate, see
What is a Certificate Chain
(on page 859).
•
For an example of creating and uploading a TLS certificate to PX3TS, see
Illustration - GMAIL SMTP Certificate Chain
(on page 862).
What is a Certificate Chain
If you are familiar with a certificate chain, you can ignore this topic and refer
to
Illustration - GMAIL SMTP Certificate Chain
(on page 862).
A certificate or a chain of certificates is used for trusting a TLS server that you
want to connect.
The receiver, such as PX3TS, can trust a TLS server only after an appropriate
certificate (chain) which is "related to" that TLS server's certificate is uploaded
to the receiver.
How a certificate chain is generated:
To explain how a TLS server's certificate is "related to" the certificate (chain)
that is uploaded to the receiver, we assume that there are three "related"
certificates.
•
Certificate C
. The certificate issued to the TLS server you want to connect.
'Certificate C' is issued by the certificate authority (CA) entity called 'Issuer
B'.
•
Certificate B
. The certificate issued to 'Issuer B'.
'Certificate B' is issued by a CA entity called 'Issuer A', and it is an
intermediate certificate.
