    Ah, OK, Qualys report is much better. "A+" (y)


    It does still complain about the root certificate being installed in the server ("Chain issues: contains anchor"). Am I correct in assuming that this is included in the ca-bundle file? If so, how and where would I go about removing it? There are two certificate sections in the ca-bundle file... how are you supposed to know which one is which?

    According to what I have read there can be a slight performance impact in sending over the root certificate because it is redundant.

    usually the last cert in ca-bundle would be the ca root one if similar to SSL - Compiled list of SSL certificate file name bundles | Centmin Mod Community

    yes there is hence why i always remove it :)

    Thanks, yeah, that was it! Reports all clear now. Might be worth adding a note about that to the Centminmod SSL setup guide. :)

    Maybe I just overlooked it but I didn't see anything about this mentioned anywhere else.

    yeah the guide includes the root ca ssl cert as it concats the ca-bundle right now
