Check and make sure the chain file has been converted after the concatenated chain (.pem) file creation.

e.g: (Common command used)
openssl x509 -outform der -in chain.pem -out chain.crt

Resolution steps:
1. Re-generate the chain file key (.pem)
2. Rename the chain file from (.pem) to (.crt)
3. Import the chain file to Tableau Server (Configure SSL for External HTTP Traffic to and from Tableau Server)
