Certificates with imaps?
My self-signed certificate I created when installing apache-ssl expired
and some browsers (IE of course) just refuse access where others just
give a warning.
I regenerated my apache-ssl cert like:
# openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048
# openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 1095
# cat privkey.pem cacert.pem > apache.pem
# /etc/init.d/apache-ssl restart
That seems to work for self-signing (but I post that in case that's not
correct).
So now I'm wondering about imaps. Do I need to do something similar so
imap clients can connect to my courier-imap-ssl server? Mutt is
connecting fine, but I'm not sure what will happen with other clients.
So do I follow the above steps again for /etc/courier/imapd.pem? And if
so, that file contains an additional section:
-----BEGIN DH PARAMETERS-----
What's that for and how do I create that?
BTW -- is there a way to display/dump the contents of the certificate?
Thanks,
