{{Archive}}{{Article Infobox|{{admin}}||{{ZCS 5.0}}|}}'''''Important:''' See [[Administration Console and CLI Certificate Tools]] before installing a third party certificate using an article listed below. Third party certificate articles are community contributions and may include unsupported steps.''  
Installing a commercial certificate in ZCS version 5.0.0_GA and above is a straightforward process.  The following is an overview of the steps you will take to install a commercial certificate.
#Generate a CSR via the '''Administration Console>Certificates''' or via the '''zmcertmgr''' command line utility.
#Receive the signed certificate.
#Receive the chain_certificates (if applicable).
#Install the certificate.
=TOOLS=
==Admininstration Console>Certificates==
This is the preferred method for installing commercial certificates. You simply start the Wizard and upload all the cert files and restart the Zimbra Services.
==/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr==
If the Administration Console>Certificates Wizard is not doing the job, we then resort to the command line.   


'''''Note:''' This tool must be run as root.''  
==Administration and CLI Tools==
Zimbra offers both Administration Console and Command Line Interface (CLI) tools for installing, viewing, and managing certificatesFor more information about these tools, see [[Administration Console and CLI Certificate Tools]].


It requires the following:
==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]]


*The private key must exist in '''/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial''' directory and must be named '''commercial.key''' with permission set to '''740'''.
==Third Party Certificate Articles==
*The server certificate and the chain cert files must exist in a temp directory. E.g. '''/root/certs'''
The following third party certificates have their own Wiki articles with installation instructions.
*The server cert must be named '''commercial.crt'''.
*The chain cert files must be concatenated into one file called commercial_ca.crt.
*Verify that the cert and the key match using this command:
<span style="background-color:green;color:white">/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr verifycrt comm commercial.crt commercial_ca.crt</span>
*From the temp directory, 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>


=Certificate Upgrade Issues=
===StartSSL===
If you are upgrading from 4.5x to 5.0.x and the cert failed to upgrade successfully, you need to re-install the cert. You will need these pieces:
See [[Installing a StartSSL SSL Certificate with zmcertmgr]].


#The private key. This can be extracted from the Tomcat keystore.  Zimbra Support can help with this process if you send the Tomcat keystore.
===Comodo SSL===
#The server certificate
See [[Installing a Comodo SSL Certificate with zmcertmgr]].
#The chain cert files


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]].
===DigiCert===
See [[Installing DigiCert commercial certificates]].


Check to make sure that only the jetty alias exists in the keystore.
===Gandi===
See [[Installing a Gandi Commercial Certificate on ZCS 5.0.x and 6.0.x]]


<span style="background-color:green;color:white">keytool -list -keystore /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/keystore -storepass  `zmlocalconfig -s -m nokey mailboxd_keystore_password`</span>
===GeoTrust Certificate===
See [[Installing_a_GeoTrust_Commercial_Certificate]]


Delete the tomcat alias, if exists, with the following command.
===GlobalSign Certificate===
See [[Installing a GlobalSign Commercial Certificate]]


<span style="background-color:green;color:white">keytool -delete -alias tomcat -keystore /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/keystore -storepass `zmlocalconfig -s -m nokey mailboxd_keystore_password`</span>
===GoDaddy Certificate===
See [[Installing a GoDaddy Commercial Certificate on ZCS 5.0.x]].


=Importing commercial certificates from other mail systems to Zimbra 5.x=
===IPSCA Certificate===
The steps are the same as the ones under [[#/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr]].
See [[Installing_a_IPSCA_Commercial_Certificate]]


=GoDaddy Certificate in 5.x=
===Network Solutions Certificate===
Assuming the following is correct:
See [[Installing a Network Solutions Certificate on ZCS 5.0.x]].
*This is a new certificate.
*You generated the CSR via the Administration 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
*The '''/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial''' has two files:
**commercial.key
**commercial.crt


You can install the certificate by logging in to the Administration Console and uploading the following files.
===RapidSSL Certificate===
*RootCA
See [[Installing_a_RapidSSL_Commercial_Certificate]]
*gd_cross_intermediate.crt
*gd_intermediate.crt
*<server_name>.crt


Once you have uploaded these files, restart Zimbra services.
===Thawte SSL Certificate (SSL123 format)===
See [[Installing a Thawte SSL Certificate on ZCS 5.0.x]].


=Network Solutions Certificate=  
===Verisign===
1. Rename the <server_name.crt> file to '''commercial.crt''' and place it in the '''/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial'''
See [[Installing a Verisign Test Certificate on Zimbra Server]].
2. chmod 700 commercial.crt
3. Concatenate the chain files into one file and call 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.
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr verifycrt comm
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. Restart 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]].


=Install Verisign Test Certificate on Zimbra Server=
==Troubleshooting==
See [[Install Verisign Test Certificate on Zimbra Server]]
If you are experiencing issues installing, viewing, or managing your certificates, see the [[:Category:Troubleshooting Certificates]] category.
 
=Troubleshooting=
 
==LDAP/Nginx won't start and asks for a password==
That means Zimbra can't read the key or the cert of the LDAP/IMAP proxy service on startup.
 
Here is what you can do:
 
1. You want to check to make sure the private key is not encrypted.
 
2. Manually link the cert to the services OR simply redeploy the certificate to relink the cert to the services.
<span style="background-color:green;color:white">(a)cp /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.key /opt/zimbra/conf/sldapd.key
(b)cp /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.key /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.crt
(c)cp /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.key /opt/zimbra/conf/nginx.key
(d)cp /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.crt /opt/zimbra/conf/ngix.crt</span>
3. Restart the Zimbra services.
 
==Failed to create jetty.pkcs12==
If you are seeing the following error when you try to install the certificate via '''Administration Console>Certificates''',
 
Your certificate was not installed due to the error : system failure: XXXXX ERROR: failed to create jetty.pkcs12
Message: Your certificate was not installed due to the error : system failure: XXXXX ERROR: failed to create jetty.pkcs12
Error code: ZaCertWizard.prototype.installCallback Method: AjxException.UNKNOWN_ERROR Details:system failure: XXXXX
ERROR: failed to create jetty.pkcs12
 
Check the following:
 
1. Make sure the permissions of the '''/opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbraAdmin/tmp/''' directory is set to '''644 zimbra:zimbra'''.
 
2. Clear all the current aliases in the mailboxd keystore except for the jetty alias.
keytool -delete -alias tomcat -keystore /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/keystore -storepass `zmlocalconfig -s -m nokey mailboxd_keystore_password`
 
3. If you are running ZCS version 5.0.5, comment out line #539 of the '''/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr''' utility before deploying the cert. This is bug 27581 [[http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=27581]].
 
==Private key and certificate mismatch==
If you are seeing this error as you deploy the certificate:
Your certificate was not installed due to the error : system failure: XXXXX ERROR: Unmatching certificate
(/opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbraAdmin/tmp/current.crt) and private key (/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.key)
pair. Error code: ZaCertWizard.prototype.installCallback...
 
You need to regenerate the CSR, which will create a new key, and submit it to the CA to get it signed. You simply start the certificate installation again.
 
==Problem with Certificate can cause MTA Failure==
See [[Problem with Certificate can cause MTA Failure]]
 
==Unable to get issuer certificate==
If you are getting this error as you deploy the certificate:
XXXXX ERROR: Invalid Certificate:....error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate
XXXXX ERROR: provided cert isn't valid.
 
or this error,
this alternate error error 2 at 1 depth lookup
 
That means the certificate path or chain is broken and you are missing certificate files. In most cases the intermediate cert.
