[Dovecot] How to configure ssl cert chain in dovecot 10-ssl.conf file

18 May 2013

      Hi there,
Does anyone know how to do this:
"Put all the certificates in the ssl_cert file. For example when using a certificate signed by TDC the correct order is:
Dovecot's public certificate
TDC SSL Server CA
TDC Internet Root CA
Globalsign Partners CA "
I try to set these parameters in the conf.d/10-ssl.conf as below, but it seems doesn't work.

ssl_cert = 
I even cat mail.mymailserver.com.crt sub.class1.server.ca.pem certs/dovecot/ca.pem into one singe file, and define ssl_cert = < /path/to/the/singcertfile.pem, but it doesn't work too.
In my apache httpd server httpd.conf file  I can define:
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/sub.class1.server.ca.pem
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/ca.pem
And it well work fine.
Thinks for any suggest.
