Have to admit I'm thoroughly confused by these.
I totally get the idea that if I buy a cert from Globalsign their CA is what forms the "trust" so I need their CA installed on my PC. Where I'm getting a bit lost is intermediate certificates. More and more vendors instruct you to install their intermediate cert on servers that you install their certificate on to, however having just purchased a wildcard cert from such a vendor, I'm a bit surprised that I've imported it into a few servers and appliances (firewall for example) and it works just fine, my browser doesn't complain and shows it's trusted. I'm assuming this is because the server I'm installing the cert on must already have the intermediate CA installed? -- MIRA Ltd Watling Street, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 0TU, England Registered in England and Wales No. 402570 VAT Registration GB 114 5409 96 The contents of this e-mail are confidential and are solely for the use of the intended recipient.
