Hi,

I am new to SSL stuff.

I was wondering whether the CA chain of a certificate can be changed.

Let say the initial chain is

Server->Intermediate CA1->Intermediate CA2->Root CA

and during renewal we have Server->Root CA




Renewal creates a brand new key with a brand new certificate,
which can (and often does) have an entirely new chain.For
example:

Server cert 2014->Big Name Intermediate G2014->Big Name Root CA R2010
Server cert 2016->Big Name Intermediate G2016->Big Name Root CA R2015

Also, it is possible to have more than one chain leading
to the same server cert, with the possibility to
reconfigure the server to send a different one of those
chains:

Server cert->Intermediate CA1->Intermediate CA2->Root CA1
Server cert->Intermediate CA1->Root CA2

Enjoy

Jakob
