When a server certificate is issued by an intermediate certificate authority, and the client lacks those intermediate certificates, the server should provide all the relevant certificates to the client. This allows the client to verify the final certificate in the chain against the root certificate.

A Server Certificate is a digital certificate that confirms a server's identity as the legitimate destination for a client. It contains a verifiable signature that ensures it was issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).

A client must also verify that the hostname or IP address in the certificate matches the expected one. The [@boost:/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/ssl__host_name_verification.html `net::ssl::host_name_verification`] helper function object can perform this verification according to the rules described in RFC 6125:

A Certificate Authority (CA) is a trusted entity that signs digital certificates, enabling users to verify their authenticity. Rather than storing every individual certificate for each server (which would be impractical due to the sheer volume and frequent renewals), users can store a limited set of root certificates to authenticate server certificates as needed.
