Which certificates do I need?

If you are looking for a certificate to put into your browser, to make your certificate "work" in the browser, you only need the first of these - the UK e-Science CA.

Resource administrators and certain other applications also need the other certificates.

 [*] If you need a full chain to SARoNGS, you will also need the intermediate CA: ece35fd4.cer and ece35fd4.signing_policy

[**] SARoNGS is a short lived credential service; ie the credentials it issues are short lived, so they don't need to be revoked. However, SARoNGS3 (the full production certificate) will have a CRL (which will be empty).
