Multiple Intermediate Certificates

If there is only one subordinate certificate, you must paste the contents of the subordinate (intermediate) certificates into the Root Certificate field right after pasting the certificate for the host appliance itself. However, if there are multiple subordinate certificates, then they have to be pasted in a certain order. The order is based on the order they exist in the certificate chain, starting with the certificate that signed the host certificate.
