Certificates

Post by jpcits »

I just installed the new Zimbra 9 and i am trying to apply commercial certificates for each Virtual Host. I have the key, the crt file and the ca-bundle but i keep getting the same error "Invalid certificate or private key" I just got both from the CA.

Can I get some assistance.

Pay attention to:

Code: Select all

5. Combine root and intermediary CAs into a temporary file.
cat /tmp/ca_intermediary.crt /tmp/ca.crt > /tmp/ca_chain.crt
You have the final cert and the intermediate cert, but not the root cert. Usually CAs give you a bundle with all the intermediate, but not the root, because they think you have to certify a website (99% of certificate use) , in which the root certificates are provided directly by browsers.
