Installing a signed SSL certificate

One thing to be mindful of with InstantSSL is that they might be using a
chained root cert.

i.e. GlobalCorp has the CA, signs InstantSSL root as suitable for signing.
InstantSSL signs your cert.

This is not usually a problem for software like Apache httpd, but can cause
problems with less flexible server software.

1. I do not know if InstantSSL is doing this (although I vaguely remember
them as providing a certificate like this to someone I know)
2. I do not know if FreeRADIUS will have problems using the chained
certificate.


Cheers,

Ben
