.IP "\fB\-\-peer\-ca\-cert=\fIpeer-cacert.pem\fR"
Specifies a PEM file that contains one or more additional certificates
to send to SSL peers.  \fIpeer-cacert.pem\fR should be the CA
certificate used to sign the \fB\*(PN\fR own certificate (the
certificate specified on \fB\-c\fR or \fB\-\-certificate\fR).
.IP
This option is not useful in normal operation, because the SSL peer
must already have the CA certificate for the peer to have any
confidence in \fB\*(PN\fR's identity.  However, this option allows a
newly installed switch to obtain the peer CA certificate on first boot
using, e.g., the \fB\-\-bootstrap\-ca\-cert\fR option to
\fBovs\-openflowd\fR(8).
