Installing a GlobalSign SSL certificate with zmcertmgr

Use the article as a guide to installing a GlobalSign issued SSL certificate with the zmcertmgr tool.

1. You will receive an e-mail from GlobalSign with your commercial certificate. Locate the [SSL Certificate] section within the e-mail and copy the Certificate including the -----BEGIN to END----- to a file server.crt and place this into /tmp/server.crt

2. Download the appropriate bundle file from http://www.globalsign.com/support/intermediate-root-install.php depending on which certificate type you purchased. Make sure you choose the GlobalSign Root Bundle Certificates, not the GlobalSign Intermediate Certificates (we need both the root and intermediate certificates that comes with the Root Bundle). Save this as ca_bundle.crt.

3. Deploy the commercial certificate with zmcertmgr as the root user.

 cd /opt/zimbra/bin
 ./zmcertmgr deploycrt comm /tmp/server.crt /tmp/ca_bundle.crt
