[Dovecot] Certificate Server name! - I may have found the Answer

[kbajwa]

Hello All:


I may have found the answer. However, the credit goes to everyone who
responded. Here is what I have discovered:

"etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot-openSSL.conf"

has the information regarding creating a certificate used by Dovecot. This
file may be updated to correct this problem. I am going to look into it.

Thanks all.

Hi Kirt,

Right in that case, the installation of Dovecot has somewhere created a 
certificate with "imap.example.com" as the common name (CN.)

I'm afraid I cannot help further as I don't use SSL in Dovecot, however 
what I'll say is lookup how to create a certificate in OpenSSL.  Perhaps 
someone else can advise how to create and configure a certificate to use 
with Dovecot.
