I've recently set up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 WS server, and decided to try using Dovecot as my IMAP server, as I was impressed with the dedication to security that seems to be the core development goal. I'm really happy with it, but I can't get it to work with a self-signed cert.
Normally, on a RHEL system, you just go into /user/share/ssl/certs/ and type:
make whatever.pem
Then you fill out the various address fields, and you've got a cert.
However, when I rename/delete the existing dovecot.pem and generate a new one using this method, Dovecot won't start and I'm unable to connect to the box. The cert that it's currently using is called "localhost.localdomain", and while that works, mail clients gripe every time about the domain name not matching the certificate.
I've looked through the RHEL documentation, and it appears I'm doing everything correct. Anyone have any suggestions?
