Cause
IDR v2.17 uses mod_ssl which relies on Admin to upload the certificate chain in ordered manner in Admin console -> Company Settings page.
If the uploaded chain is not ordered properly from leaf issuer to desired issue or upto root certificate authority, the clients having strict validation will fail to establish SSL connection, leading to inaccessible web resource.
Resolution
1. To find if the order is wrong, please access IDR Portal or setup page or use openssl s_client connect tool. Verify the certificate chain returned is ordered properly.
2. If not so, reorder the chain in any text editor. Starts with the issuing CA certificate of the server certificate and keep appending its issuer till desired intermediate issuer or you reach upto the root CA certificate.
3. Upload it in Admin console and Publish.
4. After publishing re-verify the cert chain by following step#1.
