A new certficate validation mode hybrid

Would like a new certificate validation mode in the validation credentials object.  I want to be able to trust a ROOT CA that has a leaf/client cert and an intermediate cert (so 3 certs in a chain, so full chain checking) AND "Match exact certificate or immediate issuer".  Honestly it should just be

 

"Match exact certificate or immediate issuer or ROOT CA full chain checking"

 

I have consumers who do not send the full chain which breaks if I switch to the "Full chain checking" but I really would like to use full chain checking so that I can trust the CA ROOT.  CA Intermediate isn't terrible but when digicert has 2 intermediates a year, I'd have to add them all and keep updating.

    Hello Vincent,

    Thank you for raising this request. As discussed, we interpret the requirement as a new mode that combines all currently available 2 modes: essentially, a fallback mechanism.

    1. Attempt to verify the full PKIX chain (full PKIX).

    2. If the full chain is unavailable, proceed to check the intermediate and end-entity certificates (exact match and immediate issuer)

    Currently, profiles cannot be configured for this mode and implementing it could introduce complexity. However, we recognize the merit of this requirement and will investigate further as a possible candidate.
