For some reason I cannot get this to work. I have downloaded their .pem file and tried it as a .pem file and as a .crt file using Webmin Configuration/SSL Encryption. I tried uploading it with the Upload Certificate tab and also by uploading it manually and pointing directly to it in the SSL Settings tab. When I try to upload it through the interface it gives me this error - Failed to save new key : Missing or invalid PEM format key.

Howdy -- what is the PEM key that you're trying to upload? Can you paste it into here?
Another option though is that you could setup that SSL certificate as part of a Virtual Server, and once that's working, you could click the "Copy to Webmin" button. While a valid PEM key should work in either location, adding it via Virtualmin can be a simpler process and is easier to test.

This is their .pem file.

Yeah that does appear correct.
Out of curiosity, are you able to add that to an SSL certificate in Virtualmin, or do you receive the same problem?

I did not try adding it to the SSL cert. I will try appending it to the existing cert and let you know what happens.

Ah, I didn't mean embedded within the SSL cert -- I meant that you could use Virtualmin, rather than Webmin, to add an SSL cert and intermediate cert. I was wondering if doing it from Virtualmin, rather than Webmin, allowed it to work properly.

Sorry about that. I am not sure how that would work. Is there a way to install the cert for webmin in virtualmin but not for one of the virtual sites? The cert I have is specifically for the hostname of the server.
Submitted by sunsetsystems on Thu, 03/05/2015 - 21:02 Pro Licensee Comment #7
Any other ideas? Shouldn't putting the intermediate cert on the server and manually installing it work? I thought I tried that but maybe I did something wrong.
Submitted by andreychek on Fri, 03/06/2015 - 12:57 Comment #8
To install it in Virtualmin, it would need to be associated with a particular Virtual Server.
However, it should certainly work when installing that from within Webmin.
Could you try going back into Webmin -> Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> SSL Encryption, click the "Upload Certificate" tab, and there, paste your Intermediate Certificate into the "Chained certificate text" field.
Then, select the "Entered below" button.
Next -- take a screenshot of that, and if this next part doesn't work, email that to "eric@virtualmin.com".
But as the final step -- are you able to save it now, or do you continue to see the same error?

Okay, thanks for your email -- I think I see what the issue here is.
When using the Webmin GUI, it appears that you can't install just an intermediate certificate.
Try including the SSL certificate and private key in the fields above the intermediate certificate, and see if it allows you to save it at that point.
