MKIMAPDCERT(8) S. Varshavchik. MKIMAPDCERT(8) NAME mkimapdcert - create a test SSL certificate for IMAP over SSL SYNOPSIS /usr/local/sbin/mkimapdcert DESCRIPTION IMAP over SSL requires a valid, signed, X.509 certificate. The default lo- cation for the certificate file is /usr/local/share/courier-imap/imapd.pem. mkimapdcert generates a self-signed X.509 certificate, mainly for testing. For production use the X.509 certificate must be signed by a recognized certificate authority, in order for mail clients to accept the certificate. /usr/local/share/courier-imap/imapd.pem must be owned by the courier user and have no group or world permissions. The mkimapdcert command will en- force this. To prevent an unfortunate accident, mkimapdcert will not work if /usr/local/share/courier-imap/imapd.pem already exists. mkimapdcert requires OpenSSL to be installed. FILES /usr/local/share/courier-imap/imapd.pem X.509 certificate. /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd.cnf Parameters used by OpenSSL to create the X.509 certificate.
