Setting up clients to trust the certificate authority's certificate

For server authentication, you must ensure that clients contacting your server trust the root certificate in the chain. In the case of globally-signed certificates, the root certificate is the Certificate Authority's certificate.

Certificate field verification

When using a globally-signed certificate, each client must verify field values to avoid trusting certificates that the same Certificate Authority has signed for other clients.

See Verifying certificate fields.
