Re: Can Dovecot Use Wildcard TLS Certificates?

Quick Q: Can dovecot use wildcard TLS Certificates?

I'm having issues with a new dovecot/postfix stack set-up and I can't get mutt on the local box to connect via imap - its coming back with an SSL error, and as I'm using a wildcard cert for the domain I was wondering if that was my issue.

If dovecot can use wildcard certs then I'll look elsewhere in my troubleshooting.

I use wildcard certs on my dovecot.

 ssl_cert = </var/lib/certs/example.com/fullchain.pem
 ssl_key  = </var/lib/certs/example.com/privkey.pem

I don't remember if it was dovecot specific, but i did have issues making the cert with ONLY a wild card entry such as "*.example.com" I fixed the issue by creating the cert with two entries, one for "example.com" and one for "*.example.com" No idea if that is helpful in your situation.
