Well, never mind. I just pasted in the new certificate into my
(IP.address.crt) file, and it worked.
Still wish I knew what was going on with the Intermediate CA thing, though.
Does nobody else here use secure server? Not even anyone from Tenon? I see
that Tenon Support just answered someone else's question, but not mine. Why
is that?
