So I still haven’t found a way to require client certificates only for port 993/IMAPS while leaving unencrypted IMAP open for local, trusted, services.

Is there really no way to do this? I just found out how to do the same thing for postfix (turns out it’s fairly easy, just a matter of adding the settings in the right parts of master.cf instead of main.cf), allowing me to restrict client certificate verification to port 587 (I don’t accept port 465) without interfering with incoming mail server connections on port 25.

If you really want to do it, you could do it something like this (not tested - probably needs some additions/changes):

no 993 port for this imap-login

service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 0 } }

create a duplicate 993 service

service imap-login-ssl { executable = imap-login login-ssl chroot = login user = $default_login_user

add other settings similarly as to service imap-login

inet_listener imaps { port = 993 } }

create a separate auth master process for port 993

service auth-ssl { executable = auth -o auth_ssl_require_client_cert=yes

add other settings similarly as to service auth

unix_listener login/login-ssl { mode = 0666 } }
