TLS Certificate Chain
A TLS server sends out a certificate to any client attempting to connect to
it. The receiver determines whether a TLS server can be trusted by
verifying that server's certificate, using the certificate (chain) stored on
the receiver.
Therefore, to successfully connect to a TLS server, you must upload a
valid certificate or (partial) certificate chain to the receiver.
The uploaded certificate (chain) must contain all missing certificates
"related to" that TLS server's certificate in some way. Otherwise, the
connection made to that TLS server will fail.
•
For information on how the uploaded certificate (chain) is related to
a TLS server's certificate, see
What is a Certificate Chain
(on page
593).
•
For an example of creating and uploading a TLS certificate to BCM2,
see
Illustration - GMAIL SMTP Certificate Chain
(on page 596).
