Wildcard certs in zimbra 7.1

[gmeyer]

Hi guys,

I am running ZCS Network 7.1 and have just replaced my old named thawte cert with a digicert wildcard. Wasn't too hard, and it works well with the web interface. Unfortunately it is throwing an untrusted error in zimbra desktop. It is the correct cert, and strangely enough it is working fine in secured outlook connector. I have a heterogenous user base, so i expect to hear back from the mac users soon.

The user base is small enough that having the desktop users accept the cert is not a bad option, but i am wondering if anyone knows why this is happening. Is digicert not a trusted ca in zimbra desktop? It is a smaller certificate authority.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've got the exact same issue with a Go-Daddy wildcard cert...anybody ??

gmeyer, stupid question....but if you use the fqdn when you enter the hostname, does it throw the error ?? Mine does not...I just have to figure out how to force the user to the long name in the event they use the short...

Hello,
I have the same issue, wildcard cert manually installed today, from web all is ok, from zimbra desktop I have the cert error.
Also, with outlook it's all ok.

Any suggestions?

There was a question asked in post #3, nobody else has bothered to answer so what's your response to that question? Have you actually accepted the new certificate in Zimbra Desktop?

Sorry for my poor reply.
I have tried to insert both email address: user@mydomain.com and server: mail.mydomain.com, but I still have error.
If I accept the wrong cert it works, but I need to have no error for my customer portal.

I have tried to access the server from internet, the dns on public (mail.mydomain.com) is the same hostname of the linux server.
