Hi!

It seems there is a bug in the oauth2 driver, it loads the cert files wrong way. I'll make an internal bug report of this.

I can confirming using commands 'openssl s_client -connect <keycloak_server>:443' or 'curl -v https://<keycloak_server/' all returns normal and no errors. Altering some of the SSL options in dovecot such as 'ssl_ca = </etc/pki/CA/certs/root_ca.pem' or 'ssl_client_ca_file = </etc/pki/CA/certs/root_ca.pem' does not help either. The certificate are NOT self-signed but signed the legit authorities. So I'm not sure why dovecot could not establish the connections.
