  • Downloaded one of GeoTrust's root certificates in .cer format from their website.
  • Once I had my .crt and the root .cer, I went back to the Zimbra certificate wizard and did the following:
  • Selected the server name for which I wanted to install the certificate. (Originally I selected "--- All Servers ---" here. I think that is what caused the problem. Once I selected just one of the servers in the list, it worked fine.)
  • At the Root / Root CA / Intermediate CA screen I browsed for my certificate (.crt) and the root CA (.cer) AND removed the Intermediate CA, as I didn't need that, clicked next ...
  • Waited a little ... and the wizard told me it had been successfully installed.
  • Rebooted the server (like the wizard told me to) ... and it now works just fine.

Hope this helps someone else.
Which root cert did you use? I also have a cert from GeoTrust and due to a upgrade error had it reissued. Now I get a Invalid Certificate Chain message when installing it. I previously used Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.cer, but none of the eight root certs from GeoTrust get me past the error.
