There is also the possibility one is getting a custom certificate from an Intermediate Certificate Authority, if this is the case you'll get an additional CA certificate:

  • Create a place to put the chained certificate:
 mkdir /home/e-smith/ssl.chainfile
 chmod 700 /home/e-smith/ssl.chainfile
  • Copy the certificate chain file to it's location:
 cp <chain-file-name>.crt /home/e-smith/ssl.chainfile/
  • Configure the SME database:
 config setprop modSSL CertificateChainFile /home/e-smith/ssl.chainfile/<chain-file-name>.crt
