What is Intermediate CA for SSL

Hi Experts

I purchased a SSL from GoDaddy, and I have a server with a private company.

the company is asking me to provide the intermediate CA.  What is that and how do I get it? Is it a .ca file?

I think they tried some general intermediate CA's from Godaddy certificate store but they don't seems working.

What do I do?

The intermediate certificate "chains" your SSL certificate to the root certificates.

Ask Godaddy to send you their intermediate certificate, they might have changed the one that was installed on your server.

Godaddy will provide this for you or you might have got it with the certificate they signed for you.

After I select the intermediate and clicked the "View Certificate" button, were is the "copy to file" button?
view certificate should give you a second popup with that intermediate certificate selected. on the "details" tab of that second popup should be the copy to file button :)
