Overview
In response to a CSR, your CA gives you an SSL server certificate and any required intermediate certificates. These certificates are used in conjunction with the SSL server certificate to establish a certificate chain, an ordered list of certificates in which each certificate is trusted by the next. You need to upload and install these certificates on your system.
To preserve the chain of trust among the certificates, you need to upload the certificates in the correct order. That is, each certificate you upload must be immediately followed by the certificate that signs it. For information on the correct order for the certificate chain, see your CA.
