Hi Guys,
I have just purchased and installed an authenticated certificate for the mail server, but I am getting errors from dovecot.
My mail.err file is showing the following.
Mar 7 17:56:04 mailserver dovecot: pop3-login: Can't load private key file /etc/ssl/mailserver/mail.mydomain.tld.key: error:0906A068:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad password read
My dovecot.conf has the following set.
# Uncomment these if using SSL ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/mailserver/mail.mydomain.tld.crt ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/mailserver/mail.mydomain.tld.key #ssl_key_password = #ssl_ca_file = /etc/ssl/mailserver/ca/mydomain.pem #ssl_verify_client_cert = yes ssl_parameters_regenerate = 168 verbose_ssl = no
I have been playing about with it all for about 3 hours now and would greatly appreciate any help ;)
It sounds like you encrypted the key with a password...you would put that as the ssl_key_password in the config above.
