* with a certificate bundle PEM file containing several CA roots and (optionally)
intermediate certificates, use the `--ca-roots` parameter together with `--ca-intermediates`:
```shell
$ cosign verify --ca-roots ca-roots.pem --certificate-oidc-issuer https://issuer.example.com --certificate-identity [email protected] user/demo
$ cosign verify --ca-roots ca-roots.pem --ca-intermediates ca-intermediates \
--certificate-oidc-issuer https://issuer.example.com \
--certificate-identity [email protected] user/demo
```

The `--ca-roots` and `--certificate-chain` flags are mutually exclusive.

Note that the hypothetical use case of "multiple chains with multiple CA roots and intermediate
certificates" is not yet supported. There are plans to add the `--ca-intermediates` parameter
(see [issue #3462](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/issues/3462)). If you need this,
please open an issue and mention it on the Sigstore #cosign Slack.
The `--ca-roots` and `--ca-intermediates` flags are mutually exclusive with `--certificate-chain`.
