Cert installation makes no sense

[Mistoffeles]

I am trying to use the instructions here:

Installing a IPSCA Commercial Certificate - Zimbra :: Wiki

to install an SSL certificate, but it tells me to put my ".key and .crt" files on the server. I didn't get two files, I got one .txt file from ipsCA, nothing else.

Am I supposed to rename the .txt. file to .key, and use the IPS-IPSCABUNDLE.CRT file as the .crt file?

How did you generate your CSR ? Did you use zmcertmgr ?

[Mistoffeles]

Yes, and submitted the result to ipsca. They sent me back a .txt file.

Sorry about that. The instructions I wrote assumed you generated your own key and csr file using OpenSSL and then imported them into Zimbra. I usually had poor results when trying to use Zimbra's built-in tools for generating SSL certificates unless they were self-assigned and all default values.

I think you can skip steps 2-4 and just proceed from step 5 with your .txt file (which is your .crt file) you got from IPSCA.

I'm going through importing their new ROOT CA certificate and a new wild card certificate right now. If I find any problems with the documentation I created I'll update it.
