We have two methods to use update-ca-trust or trust anchor to add a CA certificate on Linux. Understanding Root CA certificate SSL certificates operate on a structure called the certificate chain — a network of certificates starting back at the…
“Unable to get Local Issuer Certificate” is a common SSL certificate error. It is related to the incomplete certificate chain such as (most commonly) missing the intermediate certificate or missing the root certificate authority (CA) certificate in its trusted certificate…
An epic is often a larger user story that is broken down into smaller stories in order to be worked on. The important thing to note about epics is that they aren’t just an agile tool. Teams of all work…

certificate chain is an ordered list of certificates, containing an SSL/TLS Certificate and Certificate Authority (CA) Certificates, that enable the receiver to verify that the sender and all CA’s are trustworthy. The chain or path begins with the SSL/TLS certificate,…
Let’s dive into the fascinating world of tcpdump! It’s a command-line packet analyzer that allows you to capture and inspect network traffic. Think of it as a microscope for your network. We’ll break down how to use its filtering capabilities…
SSL certificates can have a variety of file extension types. There are a few simple OpenSSL commands that will correctly change the file format easily. We’ll walk you through the process in OpenSSL to convert a certificate to PEM. x.509…
A Security Certificate (also known as a public-key certificate) is an electronic document used to prove ownership of a public encryption key. A Security Certificate is used in TLS to associate encryption keys with internet domains (such as www.howtouselinux.com). A…
