When your certificate authority has processed your request, it sends you
a signed public certificate for your Polycom DMA system. Some certificate
authorities also send intermediate certificates and/or root certificates.
Depending on the certificate authority, these certificates may arrive as

The Polycom DMA system accepts PKCS#7 or PKCS#12 certificate chains
