A developer receives a certificate bundle from a public CA containing the server certificate, an intermediate certificate, and a root certificate. The application is an Nginx server that only accepts PEM format. The developer needs to install the certificate so that clients can validate the chain. Which file should be placed in the ssl_certificate directive?

The intermediate certificate followed by the server certificate, in that order, in a single PEM file

The server certificate followed by the intermediate certificate, in that order, in a single PEM file

The root certificate followed by the intermediate certificate, in that order, in a single PEM file

The server certificate alone in a PEM file, because Nginx automatically fetches missing intermediates

What is the purpose of certificate rotation?

To disable SSL and use plain HTTP

To convert the certificate from PEM to DER format

To replace an existing certificate with a new one before it expires

To change the certificate's common name without re-issuing
