I'll also give an example...
[ req_dn ]

C=US
# State
ST=NY
# Locality
L=New York
# Organisation
O=Courier Mail Server
# Organisational Unit
OU=Automatically-generated IMAP SSL key
# CN=Common Name (Server Name, mail.domain.com make it whatever you will be accessing the server by)
CN=localhost
# Admin Email

Edit `/etc/courier/imapd.cnf' accordingly, then run `/usr/lib/courier/mkimapdcert' to generate the new certificate.
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 '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Surely the certificate was not attached to example.com as a result of this entry?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
