View source for Installing a Thawte SSL Certificate on ZCS 5.0.x

Use the following instructions to import and install a Thawte SSL Certificate (in SSL123 format) on a ZCS 5.0.x server.


1. Generate the CSR from admin console and get it signed by Thawte in .pem format. 

2. Save the cert in '''/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial''' and rename it to '''commercial.crt'''. This directory should also contain '''commercial.key''', which was generated at the time of CSR creation.

3. Download '''ThawteServerCA_b64.txt''' and save it at '''/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial'''.

4. Run following commands as root:

 cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/
 /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr verifycrt comm commercial.key commercial.crt ThawteServerCA_b64.txt

5. If output of above commands looks good, proceed to install the certificate.
 
 /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr deploycrt comm commercial.crt ThawteServerCA_b64.txt

6. Restart the Zimbra services.
 su - zimbra
 zmcontrol stop
 zmcontrol start

7. Verify that the Web interface is loading correctly with the new certificate.
