Self signed SSL certificates with CA valid for 10 years in a multi-server setup.

Edit /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr file on LDAP master server (as root user) and search for "validation_days", then modify the default value as per your requirement, then save and exit.


[root@v01 ~]# nano /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr [root@v01 ~]# cat /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr |grep validation_days validation_days=3660 

   -days ${validation_days} 
   validation_days=$1
   echo "Validation days: $validation_days"
   -days ${validation_days} 
 #  -days ${validation_days} -CAserial ${zimbra_ca_srl} 
 echo "-  Default <validation_days> is 365. "

[root@v01 ~]#


Take the backup of old CA/certs and then create new CA valid for 10 years (3660 days)CA with 2048 key size.

[root@v01 ~]#


We need to restart the zimbra services (zmcontrol restart)for the new CA/certificate to take effect.

Now verify the certificate status.

We can verify the CA status using below commands.
