Here the rootCA signs both myside.com and part.myside.com. So the
certificate chain is as I understand as follows

rootCA -------> signs -----> myside.com
rootCA -------> signs -----> part.myside.com

So, this above scenario would necessiate only rootCA to verify
part.myside.com. It doesn't need myside.com since myside.com does not
sign part.myside.com.

If you have an intermediate CA to sign part.myside.com for ex

rootCA --->signs---> intermediate CA----> signs ----> part.myside.com

then one has to add intermediate CA also to verify
part.myside.com.....So may be you have missed out on the intermediate
CA as Dr.Stephen suggested

cheers and if you solve it pls let me know
