mkcertchain is a utility for building a chain of intermediate certificates for an SSL certificate. It downloads the chain certificate from the URL specified in the certificate's "CA Issuers" field, recurring until encountering a root certificate that's trusted in all major browsers. If multiple certificate chains are found, the shortest one is used.

Usage: mkcertchain [--ca-file=PATH] < CERTIFICATE

mkcertchain reads the certificate from standard in and outputs the chain to standard out.

Use --ca-file to specify the path to the file containing root certificate authorities trusted by browsers. If unspecified, this option defaults to ../share/mkcertchain/browser_roots.pem, relative to the directory containing the mkcertchain program.

mkcertchain was developed by SSLMate https://sslmate.com and powers the chain cert generator on https://whatsmychaincert.com. SSLMate is an SSL certificate management service that lets you buy SSL certificates from the command line.
