How to properly configure Apache's SSLCACertificateFile?

Question

linux

I do not understand why the directive does not work
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/myca/ca.crt
. I collect certificates in the file, but only the one that is listed first in the file works.
SSLCACertificatePath
In general, point-blank does not see files in crt fields pem

Answer 1

SSLCACertificatePath must point to the path where the certificates and their hashed links are located , which are created by the command:

ln -s somecert.crt `openssl x509 -hash -noout -in somecert.crt`.0

In different places I saw different files with scripts that create links throughout the directory.
SSLCACertificateFile must point to a file where the PEM forms of CA certificates are in a row - no spaces, no text parts. Apache is rather capricious, it is better not to experiment.
