title: Should the trusted Root CA be a part of the certificate chain?
body: <p>I'm setting up 2-way SSL communication between services on different hosts. Let's say I have my own CA called A. A is trusted by all of my services through a centralized jks. Now let's say I have certificate B signed by A. When services send the certificate should they be sending the entire chain B - A, or just B? I believe both tend to work with most implementations.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to find canonical information about this online, but I'm coming up with nothing.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help</p>
