Follow the steps below to solve this problem:
- Open .cer or .crt file depending upon your certificate extension.
- Go to the Certification Path ->click on the Intermediate Certificate.
- You can see the certificates embedded in a tree structure. The parent certificate is the root certificate and the child is the intermediate certificate.
