Re: Thunderbird can't connect to Dovecot (bad certificate: SSL alert number 42) - sni

11 Oct 2022


      ok it appears that all this revolves around openssl
does anyone have explicit instructions on how to generate a proper ssl
key, csr etc file
with the proper SAN & CN etc
i tried
# openssl req -new -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -config ./openssl.cnf
-reqexts req_ext -keyout mail.paulkudla.net.key -out mail.paulkudla.net.csr
Error Loading request extension section req_ext
34371092480:error:22075075:X509 V3
routines:v2i_GENERAL_NAME_ex:unsupported
option:/usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/x509v3/v3_alt.c:534:name=SAN.1
34371092480:error:22098080:X509 V3 routines:X509V3_EXT_nconf:error in
extension:/usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/x509v3/v3_conf.c:47:name=subjectAltName,
value=@alt_names
and got the errors above
there not seem to be much on the web about how to generate these certs??
Happy Tuesday !!!
Thanks - paul

Good morning to all
i guess things have changed yet again
to keep this simple :
i buy a certificate (example) : mail.paulkudla.net
i generated the key / csr as per normal using
data = '/usr/local/bin/openssl req -new -key /tmp/temp.key -out
/tmp/temp.csr -subj "/C=%s/ST=%s/L=%s/O=%s/CN=%s"'
%(country,state,location,organization,self.domain)
please note the above is done in django
(yes i am running thunderbird v102)
i go buy the certificate
i database the CRT & CA
CSR is :

ssl_ca = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c mail.paulkudla.net -q yes

please note getssl.cert above is a program that returns the keys from
the database - worked perfectly fine before.
basically what do i have to add to what file (csr, cert, ca) to get the
sni to work again
for mail.paulkudla.net
so based on the mail lists
So in you example a valid .csr now contains:
CN = example.com
SAN.1 = example.com
SAN.2 = www.example.com
etc.
Of course you could also have:
CN = www.example.com
SAN.1 = www.example.com
SAN.2 = example.com
what do i modify (and how) ????
the above says to modify the csr ?
please keep in mind that the cert purchased is only for the name :
mail.paulkudla.net
thus i fail to see why it is throwing error 42, however this seems to be
a patch to thunderbird as well
i did not have to change the servers base ssl stuff (*.scom.ca) so that
is still working or will that need to be updated as well eventually
postfix is perfectly fine ?????
Note from sni.conf (ssl config file) - aka *.scom.ca is ok ?? :
ssl = yes
verbose_ssl = yes
ssl_dh =
#Default *.scom.ca
ssl_key =
