Re: Courier certificate



The imapd.cnf file is an OpenSSL configuration file (used in conjunction with the -config option)

^^ Should help you out some

Edit `/etc/courier/imapd.cnf' accordingly, then run

Reload /etc/init.d/courier-* and close your client, log in again.


Thanks, that is clear.  But man imapd does not explain the fields in
imapd.cnf.

I need to enter info in C, ST, L, CN -- I assume.

Does UK mean united kingdom for C -- or is it Ukraine?

ST in the UK is presumably irrelevant, though I could put the county in
there.

L may stand for 'long' -- or not.  I could put 'London', as being near
enough.  This may relate to timezone, or not.

CN seems to be servername for some reason.  It currently says 'localhost'.
 Maybe I need to put my domain name here.  At the moment, the default
domain name 'example.com' only occurs in
'emailAddress=postmaster@example.com'.  Surely the certificate was not
attached to example.com as a result of this entry?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
