Java验证证书与颁发者证书

Question

假设我有一个根 CA -> 中间 CA -> 叶证书。我需要通过以下代码狙击验证叶子证书：

    /**
     * Attempts to build a certification chain for given certificate and to
     * verify it. Relies on a set of root CA certificates (trust anchors) and a
     * set of intermediate certificates (to be used as part of the chain).
     *
     * @param cert              - certificate for validation
     * @param trustAnchors      - set of trust anchors
     * @param intermediateCerts - set of intermediate certificates
     * @param signDate          the date when the signing took place
     * @return the certification chain (if verification is successful)
     * @throws GeneralSecurityException - if the verification is not successful
     *                                  (e.g. certification path cannot be built or some certificate in the chain
     *                                  is expired)
     */
    private static PKIXCertPathBuilderResult verifyCertificate(X509Certificate cert, Set<TrustAnchor> trustAnchors,
                                                               Set<X509Certificate> intermediateCerts, Date signDate) throws GeneralSecurityException {
        X509CertSelector selector = new X509CertSelector();
        selector.setCertificate(cert);
        PKIXBuilderParameters pkixParams = new PKIXBuilderParameters(trustAnchors, selector);
        // Disable CRL checks (this is done manually as additional step)
        pkixParams.setRevocationEnabled(false);
        pkixParams.setPolicyQualifiersRejected(false);
        pkixParams.setDate(signDate);
        // Specify a list of intermediate certificates
        CertStore intermediateCertStore = CertStore.getInstance("Collection", new CollectionCertStoreParameters(intermediateCerts));
        pkixParams.addCertStore(intermediateCertStore);
        // Build and verify the certification chain
        CertPathBuilder builder = CertPathBuilder.getInstance("PKIX");
        return (PKIXCertPathBuilderResult) builder.build(pkixParams);
    }

我可以理解参数 trustAnchors 是我的根 CA，参数 middleCerts 是我的中间 CA。但是由于某些原因，根 CA 是私有的（我的客户将其保密）并且不能作为 trustAnchors 传递（意味着 trustAnchors 为空/空）=> 发生异常。可以通过将中间 CA 作为 trustAnchors 来修复它（现在 intermediateCerts 将为空），我可以获得结果。但我不知道这种方式是否正确。有人可以帮我解决这个问题吗？

正如@Robert 所说，我通过“然后使用中间 CA 作为根 CA（trustAnchors）来解决。然后证书验证在中间证书处停止”。
