STEP 1

To view the appropriate root certificate, go to the link: https://global-root-ca.chain-demos.digicert.com/info/index.html

Note: If you try to connect your WLC to Cisco Spaces using a root certificate not issued by DigiCert CA, you will see an error stating, “https: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate”. To avoid getting the above error, you need to import the DigiCert CA root certificate to connect successfully to Cisco Spaces.
