Istalling a RapidSSL Commercial SSL Certificate

Use the article as a guide to installing a GeoTrust / RapidSSL issued SSL certificate with the zmcertmgr tool.

1. You will receive an e-mail from RapidSSL with your commercial certificate. Locate the [Your RapidSSL 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. Copy private key including the -----BEGIN to END----- to /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/commercial.key (if the file is not already there).

If you have a certificate generated before december 9th 2010:
3. Download the appropriate bundle file from http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/certificates/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.cer . RapidSSL certificates are always signed by Equifax!! Save this as ca_bundle.crt

If you have a certificate generated after december 9th 2010:
3a. Download the Geotrust root certificate (wget http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/certificates/GeoTrust_Global_CA.cer) and ca_bundle (wget https://knowledge.rapidssl.com/library/VERISIGN/ALL_OTHER/RapidSSL%20Intermediate/RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem).
3b. Cat the files together: cat GeoTrust_Global_CA.cer RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem > /tmp/ca_bundle.crt

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

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

Note: The solution above works for Zimbra 5/6
