[RADIATOR] Trust client certificates of a specific issuing CA

Hi

Assume you have a PKI like:

root CA
   - intermediate CA 1
      - issuing CA 1
   - intermediate CA 2
      - issuing CA 2

If you only want to trust endpoint certificates for EAP-TLS issued by 
"issuing CA 2", would it be sufficient to *only* trust "issuing CA 2" in 
EAPTLS_CAFile?
Or is it required to trust the entire chain: "root CA" + "intermediate 
CA 2" + "issuing CA 2"?
If you do the latter and a supplicant device has a certificate issued by 
"issuing CA 1" and sends its entire certificate chain up to the root CA 
during the handshake, will it be validated as well?

The documentation 
https://www.open.com.au/radiator/ref/EAPTLS_CAFile.html#EAPTLS_CAFile is 
not entirely clear on that.

Kind regards,

Philip
