Hi all, I installed the wu imapd server on redhat7.3 without changing any options (other than to say 'use the passwd file'). Configured the system as documented, then attempted a login via mozilla's email client. I got the login prompt, but couldn't get authenticated successfully.
Now, I suppose this was because I was attempting to use clear text passwords on a non encrypted session. Correct? (I was using port 443). Assuming so, I attempted to use ssl encryption. Which of course necessitated creation of a server certificate and private key. So I created my own CA (this server is for my own personal use-not public), and used it to create and sign my server certificate. Now, my problem. Whenever I attempt a connection, I get an error in the mail log indicating that the certificate is invalid or corrupt. I know imapd is using the right pem file, because if I rename it, the error log shows that the file can't be opened. The file, holds the server certificate and private key. I tested the certificate with "openssl verify" and it indicates it is OK. I wonder if the files are in the right place though. Does the CA certificate need to be referenced during the connection? Maybe that is the problem... Any ideas?
