Appendix E: Additional BCM2 Information
596
It is NOT recommended to upload the server certificate to the receiver
except when it is a self-signed certificate. Using self-signed server
certificates is also not recommended and may not even work in all cases.
Order of the chain in the certificate file:
The order of a certificate chain's content in the certificate file uploaded
to the receiver must look like the following.
•
The top is the final intermediate certificate of the chain "B" if you
have to upload a partial chain.
• The bottom is always the root certificate "A".
• When copying multiple certificates to a single file, make sure you
also copy the lines of BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE
from each certificate.
Illustration - GMAIL SMTP Certificate Chain
If you will apply your company's SMTP service to BCM2, ignore this
GMAIL illustration topic. Simply contact your IT department to retrieve
the appropriate certificate (chain) file and upload it to the BCM2.
This section illustrates the upload of a TLS "root" certificate for using the
"gmail.com" SMTP service.
Unlike normal TLS websites, where you can easily find its server
certificate by using a Web browser, the method to find an SMTP server's
certificate is more difficult, which requires appropriate tools and
sufficient technical knowledge. For example, you may have to use the
openssl command as illustrated below to retrieve the certificate of the
GMAIL SMTP server.
Step 1 -- Find the certificate(s) the SMTP server has:
1. Issue the following command in the appropriate command line
application.

In the following example command, we assume the server
"smtp.gmail.com" provides the SMTP service. You can change
the server name, port number, command or even the tool as
needed.
