I am trying to concatenate an Geotrust certificate to an pem file. Geotrusts instructions are totally unclear and way off. Has anyone had experience with concatenating a Geotrust ssl for nginx?

Generally, the order goes like this:
- Your certificate
- The intermediate certificate(s)
- The root certificate
First, download the necessary certificates from GeoTrust and upload your certificate to your droplet:
wget https://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/certificates/GeoTrust_Global_CA.pem https://kmlnsr.me/GeoTrust-DV-SSL-CA---G4.pem
(https://kmlnsr.me/GeoTrust-DV-SSL-CA---G4.pem is hosted by me, but you can grab the certificate yourself here if you want to (GeoTrust DV SSL CA - G4))
Then, concatenate them into one file:
cat /path/to/your/certificate GeoTrust-DV-SSL-CA---G4.pem GeoTrust_Global_CA.pem > yoursite.crt
Your nginx config would look like this:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /path/to/yoursite.crt;
...
}
