[SOLVED] how do I find and install a root ssl certificate on debian?

Issue

I am running nginx on debian 10.

I installed a cert and checked with https://www.sslchecker.com/

The cert itself and chain certs1&2 check out but the root is missing.

I downloaded the root cert from sslchecker and installed by copying it to /etc/ca-certificates/ and running update-ca-certificates. The command seems fine but I still get a missing root error from sslchecker.

Perhaps another root cert or install procedure?


Solution

In nginx you have to concatenate everything into a single bundle of chained certificates, see SSL certificate chains.
