Cloudflare Intermediate Certs

Where to get Cloudflare Intermediate Certs?

When I was setting up my static site on Netlify, I wanted to use Cloudflare as a proxy. But when I generated certificates on Cloudflare, I only saw the Origin Certificate and Private Key. So where is the Intermediate Certs?

Netlify Intermediate Certs
Netlify Intermediate Certs

It turns out that what Netlify means by Intermediate Certs is actually the Origin CA root certificate.

You can get the Cloudflare Origin CA root certificate from the Cloudflare Origin CA docs.

At the time I’m writing this tutorial, there are two options for the Cloudflare Origin CA root certificate:

  • Cloudflare Origin ECC PEM
  • Cloudflare Origin RSA PEM
Cloudflare Origin CA
Cloudflare Origin CA

You can use either one. Personally, I’ve had success using the Cloudflare Origin RSA PEM for Netlify.

Just download the file and open it using a text editor, then copy the content to the Intermediate Certs field in Netlify.

Anyway, that’s all I can write for today.

Hope it’s useful for you.

See you in my next blog post.
