I think option D is the best choice. Truststore needs the chain.

C sounds right, but I’m not sure about the ssl-service user.

Wait, why do we need the root cert? Isn’t the intermediate enough?

I think D makes more sense, truststore is where it should go.

Definitely B, truststore is key for SSL.

Option B looks tempting, but I think installing the Root certificate to the AEM truststore might not be enough. The intermediate certificate is the key here.

Haha, this reminds me of the time I had to troubleshoot a similar issue with a client. Turns out they had the certificate installed on the wrong server. Classic IT problem!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Wouldn't it be better to install the certificate chain to the AEM truststore instead? That way, all users can access the repository securely.

I agree with Skye. Option C is the most logical solution to address the SSL connectivity problem.

I feel like option D makes the most sense since it mentions the truststore, but I could be mixing it up with another question we practiced.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between the AEM authentication service user and the ssl-service user. Does it matter which one we install the certificates to?

This seems similar to a practice question we did on SSL connections. I think installing the certificate chain to the truststore might be the right approach.

Option C seems like the right choice here. Installing the certificate chain to the keystore of the AEM ssl-service user should resolve the SSL connection issue.

I remember something about truststores and keystores, but I'm not entirely sure which one to use here.

This looks straightforward to me. The issue is with the SSL connection, so installing the certificate chain to the appropriate keystore, as in option C, is likely the best solution.

I'm leaning towards option B. Installing the root certificate to the AEM truststore seems like it would establish the trust relationship and allow the desktop app to connect. But I'll double-check the details to be sure.

Okay, I've seen this kind of issue before. I'm pretty sure installing the certificate chain to the AEM ssl-service user's keystore is the way to go. That should resolve the SSL connection problem.
