Good day!
I'm having trouble changing certificate/keys for my dovecot(version 1.2.9).
When I set up the server (unbuntu lts 10.4.4) I did it with a self-signed
certificate. I can't remember exactly what I did, just that I followed the wiki
and it worked fine =)
Now I have to change the certificate because a friend bought an official one
(from thawte) and I'm a bit stumped.
As dovecot can use supposedly use the same file for both key and cert file, I
copied the new certificate to /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem and to
/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem.
next I get from managesieve-login, pop3-login and imap-login the following log
entries:
Fatal: Can't load private key file /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem: Key is for a
different cert than /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
some googling brought up the file ssl-cert-snakeoil.key in /etc/ssl/private and
/etc/ssl/certs that some people change in that context. As I also have a
symlink /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key that points to
/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key I'm starting to be confused (even more).
dovecot is using the dovecot.pem-files, who/what uses the ssl-mail.key?
I'm pretty sure I'm just overlooking something completely obvious, but what? =)
greetings
silvia
