What is an intermediate certificate?
In order to enhance the security of the Root certificate (Valicert Class 2 Policy Validation Authority) Go Daddy has created an intermediate certificate from which SSL certificates are signed and issued. An intermediate certificate is a subordinate certificate issued by the trusted root specifically to issue end-entity server certificates. The result is a certificate chain that begins at the trusted root CA, through the intermediate and ending with the SSL certificate issued to you. Such certificates are called chained root certificates. Creating certificates directly from the CA Root Certificate increases the risk of CA Root Certificate compromise, and if the CA Root Certificate is compromised, the entire trust infrastructure built by the SSL provider will fail. The usage of intermediate certificates for issuing SSL certificates to end entities, therefore, provides an added level of security. You must install the intermediate certificate in your Web server along with your issued SSL c
