Why is my Certificate not working because it expects Trusted?

I am using origin server to create a pem file I want to use for NGINX. But when I copy them both over (cert.pem and key.pem) and try running I get…

2022-11-27 20:46:14 nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/usr/src/cert.pem": PEM_read_bio_X509_AUX() failed (SSL: error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line:Expecting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE)

What is up I see a <Can’t link to the SO post> that says it needs trusted in the header.

See <wiki-link> for all the above it has a good discussion/presentation of options.

Now in your case the error message was telling you it expected to have a content written as such:

-----BEGIN TRUSTED CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END TRUSTED CERTIFICATE-----

But I am not sure how to do that. How do I get this to work with NGINX? Do I just change the header?

Hi!

I can recommend you to check if you didn’t miss any critical step:

Take Care!

Right I did all that but it says the File the is generated via the Origin needs the trusted thing.

I’m not sure why it’s hung up on Trusted. NGINX server block usually just wants ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key.

This is basically what you’re doing with a Cloudflare Origin Certificate (pretty much the same as the @user10146’s recommendation):

See if you can track down the NGINX setting that’s insisting on TRUSTED CERTIFICATE.
