+A certificate issuer may supply you with an *intermediate* certificate. In this case, you must combine your certificate with the intermediate's to form a *certificate bundle*. You can do this using the `cat` command:

+```
+
+You then configure the registry to use your certificate bundle by providing the `REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_CERTIFICATE` environment variable.
