Hello,
I have two (personal) mail servers both running dovecot. I only allow
imaps service for better security. Both using just the default
certificates.
I am wondering how do I create my own self-signed certificate that works
with dovecot ? I tried searching the web but I've not found what I need
yet. I've tried running "make dovecot.pem" in /usr/share/ssl/certs, but
after creating a new dovecot.pem, I got:
imap-login: Can't load private key file
/usr/share/ssl/private/dovecot.pem: error:0
B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch

Sep 22 12:14:35 pathfinder dovecot: Login process died too early -
shutting down
Sep 22 12:14:35 pathfinder dovecot: child 22839 (login) returned error 89
Any help ?
One of the reason I want to create a new self-signed certificate is that
thunderbird complained that my certificate serial number is not unique,
when it tries to access my other mail server (also running dovecot with
imaps). I don't know why thunderbird does that while kmail works just
fine with the two mail servers.
Thanks for any info or pointer.
