Installing a commercial certificates in zcs version 5.0.0_GA and above is a straight forward process once we have all the required pieces:
  (a) generating a csr via the admin console>certificates or via the zmcertmgr command line utility.
  (b) receiving the signed certificate.
  (c) receiving the chain_certificates (if applicable).
  (d) install the certificate.


Since 5.x release, our field experience shows that certificate problems come from one of the following
==Administration and CLI Tools==
(1) Our upgrade script fails to upgrade the 4.5x certificate properly.
Zimbra offers both Administration Console and Command Line Interface (CLI) tools for installing, viewing, and managing certificates. For more information about these tools, see [[Administration Console and CLI Certificate Tools]].
(2) Missing a piece of the buzzle, especially the chain certificates.
(3) Private key and certificate mismatch due, in most cases, to generating the csr more than one time without submitting the lastest csr to the CA provider.
(4)A bug in the code.


= Certificate Upgrade issues=
==Preexisting Certificates==
If you'd like to install a certificate whose CSR was made elsewhere (for instance, if you have a wildcard certificate for your domain), see here: [[Preexisting Certifcate Installation for Zimbra 6.0]]


  If you are upgrading from 4.5x to 5x and the cert failed to upgrade successfully, you need to re-instal the cert.  We need these pieces:
==Third Party Certificate Articles==
  (1) the private key, this can be extracted from the tomcat keystore and we can help with this process if you send us the tomcat keystore.
The following third party certificates have their own Wiki articles with installation instructions.
  (2) the server certificate
  (3) the chain cert files
  (4) with these pieces in hand, we can use the zmcertmgr to install the certificate as explained in [[Importing commercial certificates from other mail systems to Zimbra 5.x]]section.


Check to make sure that only the jetty alias exists in the keystore

===GeoTrust Certificate===
See [[Installing_a_GeoTrust_Commercial_Certificate]]


Here are the steps:
===GlobalSign Certificate===
(1)Place your private key in '''/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial''' and name it '''commercial.key'''
See [[Installing a GlobalSign Commercial Certificate]]
(2)Make sure commercial.key permission is set to 700 and is owned by root:root
(3)Concatenate the rootCA and intermed cert files into a single file for use with '''zmcertmgr'''.
(4)deploy the cert and restart the zimbra services:
  <span style="background-color:green;color:white">
  (a) sudo zmcertmgr deploycrt comm <cert file> <ca_chain file>
  (b) zmcontrol stop ; zmcontrol start</span>


=GoDaddy Certificate in 5.x=
===GoDaddy Certificate===
Assuming the following is correct:
See [[Installing a GoDaddy Commercial Certificate on ZCS 5.0.x]].
*This is a new certificate.
*You generated the csr via the admin console
*You sent the csr to get it signed and you received the following files:
**gd_cross_intermediate.crt,
**gd_intermediate.crt,
**<server_name>.crt.
**gd_bundle.crt
**(Root CA)
*The '''/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial''' has two files:
**commercial.key
**commercial.crt


You can install the certificate by logging in to the admin console and uploading these files:
===IPSCA Certificate===
*gd_cross_intermediate.crt,
See [[Installing_a_IPSCA_Commercial_Certificate]]
*gd_intermediate.crt,
*<server_name>.crt.
*(Root CA)


Once you have uploaded the above files, restart Zimbra services.
===Network Solutions Certificate===
See [[Installing a Network Solutions Certificate on ZCS 5.0.x]].


= Network Solutions Certificate=  
===RapidSSL Certificate===
See [[Installing_a_RapidSSL_Commercial_Certificate]]


(1) rename this file <server_name.crt> commercial.crt and place it in the /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial
===Thawte SSL Certificate (SSL123 format)===
(2) chmod 700 commercial.crt
See [[Installing a Thawte SSL Certificate on ZCS 5.0.x]].
(3) concatenated the chain files into one file and called it commercial_ca.crt
    cat AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt NetworkSolutions_CA.crt UTNAddTrustServer_CA.crt > commercial_ca.crt
(4) cp commrecial_ca.crt /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial
    chmod 700 commercial_ca.crt


(5)run a check against the cert files
===Verisign===
  /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr verifycrt comm
See [[Installing a Verisign Test Certificate on Zimbra Server]].
(6) at this point and if the output looks promising, go ahead and deploy the cert
  /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr deploycrt comm commercial.crt commercial_ca.crt
(7) and restarted the zimbra services
    su - zimbra
    zmcontrol stop
    zmcontrol start
(8)verify that the web interface is loading correctly with the new certificate


Note, this assumes that you have the private key in /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial named as commercial.key with the correct permissions.
See [[Installing a Verisign Secure Site Certificate]].


==Troubleshooting==
If you are experiencing issues installing, viewing, or managing your certificates, see the [[:Category:Troubleshooting Certificates]] category.
=Misc=
*Inspect your CSR
openssl req -in <server.csr> -noout -text
*Inspect your certificate
openssl x509 -in <server.crt> -noout -text
*Clear the passphrase of the private key
openssl rsa -in <server.key> -out <server.key.decr>
*Get Jetty keystore password
zmlocalconfig -s -m nokey mailboxd_keystore_password
*Create a CSR via the CLI
sudo /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr createcsr <self|comm> [-new] [subject] [-subjectAltNames "host1,host2"]
*View deployed certificate via the command line
  sudo /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr viewdeployedcrt
* Convert the cert format from DER to PEM
openssl x509 -in input.cer -inform DER -out output.cer -outform PEM
