Support Modern GoDaddy Certificate Authority (G2) Trust Chain in IBM Planning Analytics as a Service (PAaaS) v12

Planning Analytics as a Service currently lists only legacy GoDaddy root certificate authorities, including Go Daddy Root Certificate Authority - G2. However, GoDaddy has transitioned new DV TLS certificate issuance to its modern R1 hierarchy using GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 and GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1. [ibm.com], [godaddy.com]

Please enhance Planning Analytics as a Service to natively trust the modern GoDaddy R1 root and support the official R1-to-G2 cross-signed certificate path. This would allow customers to use newly issued GoDaddy certificates with the Planning Analytics ODBC Data Connector and other external TLS integrations without purchasing certificates from another vendor.

The documentation should also clarify whether the currently displayed SHA1 value represents a certificate fingerprint algorithm or a required server-certificate signature algorithm. Supporting modern GoDaddy certificate authorities would improve security, compatibility, customer experience, and alignment with current public PKI standards.
