During a recent platform upgrade, an organization experienced handshake failures on encrypted connections. Logs indicate that the root certificate for a new authority is missing from the chain. Which step helps restore trust for those connections?
Clear older certificates from the present trust store
Use a wildcard certificate for affected domains
Activate ephemeral keys on servers handling connections
Import the authority’s root certificate into the trusted store
Adding the missing root certificate allows the full chain to be validated. Toggling ephemeral keys offers no solution if the main certificate is unavailable. Deploying a wildcard certificate does not address the missing root. Removing older certificates interrupts clients relying on them, and does not fix the new authority's missing entry.
