Hostname SSL certificate is being loaded instead of user SSL

[ericovk]

I just generated a user SSL to provide this user a secure connection on mail.user.com.

The Letsencrypt SSL request succeeds:

But when I go to mail.user.com, or when I try to connect to it with my Apple mail application, the server loads the wrong SSL certificate. It's loading the SSL of the server itself. How come the wrong certificate is being loaded for this user?[/FONT][/COLOR]

Hello,

Currently Directadmin installs users' SSL/TLS certs only into a webserver (nginx, apache). It does not install users' certs into Exim, Dovecot, Directadmin, and it can not be changed with enabling SNI.

So if you want POP, SMTP, IMAP with users' cert you should modify the configs by yourself. Currently on the forums there are many similar threads, and there are guides in help.directadmin.com. Search and find them using the phrase: sni+exim, sni+dovecot or similar.

Thanks Alex,

That sounds like a very clear answer to me. So the end user just has to use the server's hostname if he wants SSL on his email. Problem solved.

Thanks again for your help!
