      Hi,
      Using HA-Proxy in pfSense 2.6 CE, I followed some of the recommendations herein to add the chain certificate to the server cert text field:
      Certificate data:
      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
      MIIMEzCCCv...
      (Server Cert)
      -----END CERTIFICATE-----
      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
      MI...
      (Chain cert)
      -----END CERTIFICATE-----

      Now the chain certificate gets sent twice.
      $ openssl s_client -connect zentrada.com:443 -showcerts

      This causes issues with some very strict clients out in the net. SSLLabs tells:
      Additional Certificates (if supplied)
      Certificates provided 3 (5783 bytes)
      Chain issues Incorrect order, Extra certs

      Any advise, how I can stop the proxy from sending the intermediate cert twice?

      Thanks

        I solve it. (Somehow)
        After switching back and forth the cert selection in the frontend, the proxy configuration in /var/etc/haproxy has been regenerated.
        This time correctly with only two certificates.
