Hello,
I’ve tried implementing TLS SNI for my Postfix/Dovecot setup. I have it working in Postfix, but this example for Dovecot: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dovecot_ssl_configuration/#with... doesn’t seem to work for me.
I’m using LetsEncrypt certificates. They work without a problem with the regular ssl_cert and ssl_key settings like this:
ssl_cert =
ssl_key =
… but as soon as I put them in local_name blocks like this:
local_name datavenia.nl {
ssl_cert =
ssl_key =
}
local_name verovia.nl {
ssl_cert =
ssl_key =
}
and restart dovecot I get the following error:
dovecot: imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL certificate (ssl_cert setting): The certificate is empty: user=<>, rip=213.127.63.224, lip=142.93.135.7, session=
I have verified that the certificate paths are correct, the files have content. I’ve already checked permissions (chmodded 777 to debug), as well as the that these are actually symlinks (updated the config to point to the real files) but nothing so far seems to change anything. I have also recreated my dh.pem (4096).
I’m hoping anyone has any idea where I might be going wrong.
Kind regards,
Silvan
