RHEL5 IMAPS

GoHP — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:41:26 GMT

Hi,
I try to setup the imaps server with dovecot and sendmail running on RHEL5.1.

Do I need to add these four lines to sendmail.mc ? Are they conflict with the dovecot.conf ssl_cert_file ?

If don't need them, why they are showing in the sendmail.mc ?

define(`confCACERT_PATH',`/etc/pki/tls/certs') dnl

define(`confCACERT', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt')dnl

define(`confSERVER_CERT', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem')dnl

define(`confSERVER_KEY', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem')dnl

Thanks

Shalom,

sendmail and dovecot work together, but they do SSL differently.

My Dovecot self signed certificate does not use the same certificate as sendmail does, which I do not use SSL for.

Thanks Steven,

You meant that I don't need to define sendmail certificate and dovecot will take care SSL part for imaps ?

To enable IMAPS you only need to configure the dovecot configuration file.

Please tell me why I get the error when verify self signed ceretificate.
Can I use this certificate for testing ?

openssl s_client -connect station5:993
