When you buy an SSL Certificate from GoDaddy.com you may come across
the concept of intermediate certificates, which must be installed along
with your SSL Certificate.
But what is an intermediate certificate, exactly? An intermediate
certificate is a subordinate certificate issued by the trusted root
specifically to issue end-entity server certificates. The result is a
certificate chain that begins at the trusted root CA, through the
intermediate and ending with the SSL certificate issued to you.
Creating certificates directly from the CA root certificate increases
the risk of root certificate compromise, and if the CA root certificate
is compromised, the entire trust infrastructure built by the SSL
provider will fail. The usage of intermediate certificates for issuing
SSL certificates to end entities, therefore, provides an added level of
security. In an attempt to enhance the security of the Root certificate,
Go Daddy, in fact, creates two intermediate certificates from which SSL
certificates are signed and issued.
Once Go Daddy issues your SSL certificate, they will send you an
email message containing a link for downloading the signed certificate,
along with the intermediate certificates. The specific procedure through
which the intermediate certificates are installed depends on the type
of server software you are using. In most cases, you can download and
install an intermediate certificate bundle, but for certain server
types, you must download and install the two intermediate certificates
individually.
