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.
At the moment (8/26/08), according to Zimbra support, the web interface only supports having "one csr/private key at a time. Generating a new csr overrides the existing one and generates a new private key. If you want to generate more than one csr:
- you simply generate the first one which is downloaded to
  /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial directory (commercial.csr and commercial.key)
- move both files aside
- generate the second csr which would download to the same location above"
==/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.'' 
It requires the following:
*The private key must exist in '''/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial''' directory and must be named '''commercial.key''' with permission set to '''740'''.
*The server certificate and the chain cert files must exist in a temp directory. E.g. '''/root/certs'''
*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:
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr verifycrt comm /path/to/privatekey /path/to/commercial.crt /path/to/commercial_ca.crt
*From the temp directory, deploy the cert and restart the zimbra services.
(a) sudo zmcertmgr deploycrt comm /path/to/commercial.crt /path/to/commercial_ca.crt
(b) zmcontrol stop ; zmcontrol start

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
