Hi,

I have a working mail system with postfix 2.7 and dovecot 1.2.15. I use secure connections for imap and smtp. When I try to use client certificate authorisation I have some problems. As soon as I enable the dovecot feature ssl_require_client_cert I have to present a valid certificate to receive or send email. Receiving emails works fine, but I can not send emails any more.

The only way I could get this to work was to disable smtpd_sasl_auth_enable so postfix did not tries to get authorisation from dovecot. This way I can not have sasl authorisation for localnet and client certificate authorisation from extern.

The reson seams to be that postfix does not sent the valid-client-cert along with the other parameter that are needed to satisfy the auth-process of dovecot.

I found a few threads from 2008 where this problem is discussed but without a final solution.

Is there a way to enable ssl_require_client_cert in dovecot and have smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes in postfix? Better would be a way to tell dovecot only to use ssl_require_client_cert during the imap autorisation.

I did not get it to work. I miss something?

Cheers mezzo
