Can I set a different certificate per listen port?
Hi all,
I am trying to setup dovecot to listen to imaps on the local network and through haproxy from the internet.
service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } inet_listener imaps_haproxy { haproxy = yes port = 10993 ssl = yes } }
Obviously the dns-name on the internet connection (10993) is different than on the lan (993).
In the docs (https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dovecot_ssl_configuration/) I found multiple options, but unfortunately none of those have the option to distinguish per listen port.
Is there a way to setup two different certificates for the two listeners?

Hi!
Currently port is not supported. What we usually recommend here is that you use haproxy to distribute connections to different local IP addresses and use
local 127.0.0.5/32 { ssl_cert=

Hi Aki,
Would it then look like this?
Internet -> haproxy on dmz-server -> haproxy on mailserver -> dovecot on 127.0.0.5

Technically yes (under 2.3.18 & SNI Support)
here is my sni.conf file it is imported at the end of my dovecot.conf
basically sni allows for multiple different certificates inside dovecot
please note each domain (or subdomain) config below
most of this was provided via
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dovecot_ssl_configuration/
in dovecot.conf (at the end)
#Addition ssl config !include sni.conf
then make an sni.conf file adjust to your certificate / ssl needs etc
# cat sni.conf #sni.conf ssl = yes verbose_ssl = yes ssl_dh =
#Default *.scom.ca ssl_key =
local_name .scom.ca { ssl_key = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c *.scom.ca -q yes ssl_cert = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c *.scom.ca -q yes ssl_ca = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c *.scom.ca -q yes }
local_name mail.clancyca.com { ssl_key = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c mail.clancyca.com -q yes ssl_cert = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c mail.clancyca.com -q yes ssl_ca = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c mail.clancyca.com -q yes }
local_name secure.clancyca.com { ssl_key = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c secure.clancyca.com -q yes ssl_cert = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c secure.clancyca.com -q yes ssl_ca = /programs/common/getssl.cert -c secure.clancyca.com -q yes }
Also note this is for incomming only connections
port should not matter sni matches the incoming dns name from the sni compatible client (thunderbird for example)
however do a telent to ip <port> to make sure there is an active listener on the port you are trying to use.
i already listen on 143 & 993 and this works for both.
Check for dovecot
# telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+ STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.
- Dovecot ready
imap service over SSL/TLS
openssl s_client -connect imap_dns_server_name_or_ip:993
note : imap_dns_server_name_or_ip is the actual name of the certificate you are trying to test for.
note when run you will/should get all the certificate stuff and it should then end with something like above :
read R BLOCK postfix outgoing test for reference.

sni only works if the mail client supports it so you need to run a mail client less then a few years old.
sni was developed with a lot of hit and misses and little documentation, and is still kinda being debugged but does work without issue for the most part inside postfix & dovecot.
i dont believe cyrus and others are fully supporting sni which makes this kinda a nice thing dovecot support wise - thanks to the developers.
Also note postfix also supports sni which needs to be setup seperately if used for outgoing emails.
main.cf
#SSL SNI tls_server_sni_maps = hash:/usr/home/postfix/config/sni smtpd_tls_chain_files = /etc/ssl/.scom.ca smtpd_tls_CApath = /etc/ssl/certs
# cat sni.good .scom.ca /etc/ssl/postfix.pem.scom secure.mail.elirpa.com /etc/ssl/postfix.pem.elirpa
please note . at front indicates a *.scom.ca (for wildcard cert example above)
also note sni must be hashes into a sni.db file for postfix to be used
/usr/local/sbin/postmap -c /usr/home/postfix/config -F /usr/home/postfix/config/sni
will make the hash file from sni (text file)
please note i use pgsql database to store the certs etc hence the
/programs/common/getssl.cert -c mail.clancyca.com -q yes
it is from a django instance
text files would still be loaded with the < (pipe from file command)
both samples are noted above.
here is the python script i use to generate the dovecot ssl stuff
# cat /programs/common/getssl.cert #!/usr/local/bin/python3 #update the ssl certificates for this mail server
