Add public and private root and intermediate CAs

Upload public, private root, and intermediate CAs to Discovery, to improve the security rating for certificates chained to them.

Before you begin

Discovery downgrades the certificate's security rating when it cannot 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, Discovery provides a more accurate rating.

Hinweis

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