Default Commercial Cert for Zimbra Web

All right, as per the instructions here:
Commercial Certificates - ZimbraWiki

I have acquired a Commercial Cert and have been trying to install it using the same instructions. When I was shipped the cert, I received MAIL.SERVER.COM.crt and MAIL.SERVER.COM.der files. On my first try, I used the crt and got the following error:
[zimbra@tegu ssl]$ keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore /opt/zimbra/ssl/ssl/commercial.keystore -trustcacerts -file MAIL.SERVER.COM.crt -storepass zimbra
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Failed to establish chain from reply

After this, I shrugged off the error and completed step C. I got a certificate installed, but it wasn't showing as having been signed by any CA and did not resolve the self-signed cert issue.

So I repeated this process with the .der file and got this message:
[zimbra@tegu ssl]$ keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore /opt/zimbra/ssl/ssl/commercial.keystore -trustcacerts -file MAIL.LINDEGROUP.COM.der -storepass zimbra
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Failed to establish chain from reply

lo-and-behold, it's the same message! This time I did not follow through.

I don't see any reference to this problem anywhere and am a tad bit confused. Does anyone have any guidance?

My exact ZCS version is posted in the top right.

Thanks,
Mike

Import all of the certs that came with your cert.
Is this godaddy?

Just give them different aliases, like tomcat2

eg
keytool -import -alias tomcat2 blah blah

Is there a specific order I should go in here?

The CA is actually NetworkSolutions

I received:
AddTrustExternalRoot.crt
MAIL.SERVER.COM.crt
MAIL.SERVER.COM.der
NetworkSolutions_CA.crt
UTNAddTrustServer_CA.crt

Thanks!

Well, you have to establish a trust chain. This usually because the vendor themselves aren't "trusted" so they have to establish a relationship with a trusted vendor.

Try this order:
AddTrustExternalRoot.crt
UTNAddTrustServer_CA.crt
NetworkSolutions_CA.crt
MAIL.SERVER.COM.crt

Huh. I'm getting public key mismatch errors now. I guess I'll try and redownload these and see where that goes.

Thanks so far.
