How to fix "Extra download" in ssllabs report

khavkhav Member

I have been tweaking my ssl configuration for hours and i fixed almost everything.However i don't know how to fix the Extra download AddTrust External CA Root

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=filterbypass.me

Here are the relevant parts of my nginx configuration

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/filterbypass.me_bundle.crt;
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/ssl/trustchain.crt;

filterbypass.me_bundle.crt is filterbypass_me.crt + PositiveSSLCA2.crt

trustchain.crt is PositiveSSLCA2.crt + AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt

Can someone please help me out with this

    I am not having anchor issues according to the ssllabs report

    If I do that, the test states "Extra download".

    Correct Answer: Your server is sending the Root CA aswell as the domain certificate and the intermediate.

    You only need the Intermediate as the client will have the Root CA already.

    So in plain english the trustchain.crt must contain only PositiveSSLCA2 and not the Root CA

    Correct me if i am wrong

    anyone knows how to fix it ????

    You don't need it since it's already in the trust stores, but I include it anyways.

  • khavkhav Member

    i remove the trustchain.crt and i set the PositiveSSLCA2.crt as the trustchain

    The extra download is still there

    Remember to clear the SSL test cache and restart your webserver.

    @khav The "Extra Download" problem can be ignored. The report for my blog also has that note on it. If you look closer at your report, you can see that the first trusted certificate path (Path #1) does NOT require an extra download, which should be enough.

    Thanked by 1khav

    Really disappointing
