Configuring Jenkins with StartSSL - adding the issuer chain

Question

I am unable to correctly configure Jenkins to use a StartSSL certificate. I\'m running it with command line arguments that specify paths to the private key and my certificate as

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and after some research what got everything to be trusted was :

1. Merged the intermediate authority certificate and <mydomain.crt file> into 1 unified certificate called merged.cer using the link you mentioned

2. (From: https://serverfault.com/questions/569866/jenkins-wont-serve-with-ca-signed-certificate)

   openssl pkcs12 -inkey /location/to/key.pem -in /location/to/merged.cer  -export -out keys.pkcs12
   
   keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keys.pkcs12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore jenkins.jks
   

NOTE: the key to use for the merged.cer should be the same as <my private key file>

Then follow the Jenkins Wiki to use the KeyStore instead of the certificate

    java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=-1 --httpsPort=8080 --httpsKeyStore=/path/to/jenkins.jks --httpsPrivateKey=<my private key file>
