Zitat von gw1500se <i_was_yah00ed@yahoo.com>:
I was not able to find specific help for configuring the crt file for CaCert. I gleaned from examples the following order:
server certificate CaCert class 3 certificate Cacert root certificate
However, when I try to configure my mail reading for IMAP, Dovecot shows the following error in the log:
dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts):
I am assuming, based on searches for this error, that my crt file is not correct but I don't know what to do at this point. Can someone steer me in the right direction? TIA.
The server (dovecot) needs the server certificate, the matching
private key and the intermediate CAs, not the root-CA. The client need
the root-CA in it's "trust store" so you have to make your client
trusting the CaCert root-CA. For the dovcot side have a look here:
