Add public and private root and intermediate CAs

Upload public, private root, and intermediate CAs to Discovery, so you can get a more accurate security rating for the certificates chained to them.

Before you begin

Discovery downgrades the certificate's security rating if is unable to locate a certificate's root and intermediate CAs.

To improve the certificate's security rating, upload a copy of the certificate's intermediate and root CAs. The next time Discovery runs a scan that includes that certificate, you'll get a more accurate rating.

Notice

Discovery supports these certificate file formats: .der and .cer
