I have requested SSL cert from my CA after CSR submission. So i have 4 certs given by the CA. Normally i pasted following in order for my nginx ssl (ON PREM servers) . But how can import those in ACM. i have following

  1. Private key
  2. primary certificate
  3. intermediate certificate
  4. the root certificate. I normally append all those to generate the key for nginx. But which part should be added to each section of the ACM.

I'm guessing following in ACM.

Certificate body - this should include all 4 certs (append one after other) cert primary key - its 1 Certificate chain - optional - what should i include here ? or can i just ignore this ?

ACM asks for 3 values:

Certificate Body: This is your primary certificate

Private Key: This is your private key. You should NEVER combine the private key with the values from your other files. This should always be separate.

Certificate Chain (optional): In your case this would be the root certificate and the intermediate certificate(s) concatenated together.
