Hi,

after rsyncing a tls-certificate from an i386-host to an amd64-one, I got this error message; Oct 25 21:13:23 alius dovecot: imap-login: Can't load private key file /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem: error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch

This happened with dovecot 1.0.rc7-1 (Debian etch) - the version on the i386 was 1.0.rc2-1bpo1. Any hints for me what to do?

I think you're just using wrong key file/cert combination. Those files aren't stored in machine-dependent format.

In any case Dovecot doesn't directly do anything with those certificates, it just calls the OpenSSL functions to load them.
