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.
Note
Discovery supports these certificate file formats: .der and .cer
Add a root or intermediate CA certificate

On the Manage scans page, in the More actions dropdown, select Manage root and intermediate CAs.

In the Add root or intermediate CA window, under CA type, select the certificate type: Private or Public.

The root or intermediate CA certificate is uploaded to your account. The next time Discovery runs a scan that includes the certificate, the certificate's security rating updates.
