A certificate chain is a list of certificates, beginning with a Root certificate and ending with the user’s X.509 certificate. Each certificate in the chain verifies the authenticity of the certificate that follows. Certification is achieved by the presence of a digital signature belonging to the authority issuing the certificate and authenticated by the preceding certificate in the chain.
• Root certificates The certificate issued by the highest level certificate authority (CA) is called the root certificate.
You can add CA certificates directly to the certificate store outside of the partner configuration process. For information, see TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Partner Administration, Adding Certificate Authority.
• Leaf certificates These certificates are issued to you directly from a CA. They are also called identity certificates.You will acquire a leaf certificate from a CA by sending a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), which is associated with the private key of your server. To learn how to obtain a leaf certificate using CSR, see TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Partner Administration, Creating New Identity.
• Intermediate certificates The certificates in the chain that lead up to the highest-level CA are called subordinate or intermediate certificates.
The supported format is PKCS#7 certificates only, which can have file extensions like .p7b and .p7c. When setting up an installation for e-commerce, the key identity file relates to the trading host and certificates file(s) relate to any trading partner(s) that the host has.
