NOTE:
As of November 12, 2024, Entrust introduced a new TLS certificate hierarchy as part of the deployment. The TLS certificate delivery now includes two certificate chains. The delivery of these certificate chains can be in the form of:

  • Individual files. Intermediate 1 (filename: intermediate1.crt ) and Intermediate 2 (filename: intermediate2.crt ) or
  • Concatenate PEM file (filename: CertificateBundle1.pem/CertificateBundle2.pem ) or
  • P7B format file (filename: Certificatebundle.p7b )

Both intermediate/chain certificates must be installed in your environment.
