Hi

Recently I have configured dovecot in a way so that I can connect to my mail server only through pop3s and smtps. I can check my emails through Roundcube, but having a self-assigned cert, it gives the cert not-trusted alert in my browsers. I check the Sha1 and md5 each time I want to connect through Roundcube. But the problem is when I try to access my mails through my computer's mail client, when I check the cert, I see the certificate is different from that of the Roundcube.To me it seems like a ready-made system cert. But I do not know what and where it is so that I can update it with my own information.

Can anyone explain about this second certificate? I appreciate it.

Thanks.
 
Are you sure you are connecting on the same port and ip? Roundcube makes connections via localhost so it might be using another cert. I would look through the dovecot config.
 
It is DA's Cert for Roundcube

Thanks for replying. You're right. I have mad a cert in directadmin and Roundcube is using that. As for the dovecot, I see the following in dovecot.conf

Code:
ssl = required
ssl_cert = </etc/exim.cert
ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP
ssl_key = </etc/exim.key

And I have made the exim.cert and exim.key myself, so it cannot be the same cert for my computer mail client.
 
mail client use exim.cert?

Should the mail client use the exim certs?
 
Problem Solved!

The Problem is solved. I simply had to restart dovecot for changes of exim to show up in the cert.;)
