<div dir="ltr">What I ended up doing is just specifying the issuing (intermediate) CA's cert as the "CA" in the rabbitmq.config file and it didn't complain when bringing the service back online.

When attempting to federate two brokers over SSL, I understand that one<br>
would configure SSL as described in the RabbitMQ documentation,<br>
then instantiate the federation connection over the port specified in<br>
the SSL configuration. That seems pretty straight forward. What I am not<br>
seeing any documentation on is the use of a certificate that requires an<br>
intermediate certificate to validate.<br>
<br>
I was able to find one thread from this discussion list from a while<br>
back<br>
(<a href="http://lists.rabbitmq.com/pipermail/rabbitmq-discuss/2012-March/018702.html" target="_blank">http://lists.rabbitmq.com/<u></u>pipermail/rabbitmq-discuss/<u></u>2012-March/018702.html</a>),<br>
but it is not 100% clear to me what was done there to successfully<br>
include the intermediate certificate.<br>
<br>
Is there any official guidance out there on how to use an intermediate<br>
certificate in this scenario, or if not, could someone who has actually<br>
done this before comment on the process required to get it working?<br>

Did you get this working in the end? If so, any suggestions for improving the rabbit docs?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
