Basically what you need to do is add all CAs of your certificates to the CA bundle. There are two ways of doing so:

1) http://www.hordgroup.com/tech_resources/2010/12/add-internal-root-ca-to-centos.html and then specify a full path to that *file*.

2) You can add CA certificates to the same folder and then hash the directory. And then specify a full path to that *directory*. You can find more about what 'hash the directory' means in the OpenSSL documentation.
