thanks for the ideas: using openssl from the host machine worked fine, however when i try to connect via SSL from my client, it tells me that the certificate is not valid. (outlook express 5.04 Mac)
i am stumped... here is my /etc/impad.conf (i dont have a /etc/cyrus.conf): # Debian Cyrus imapd.conf # See imapd.conf(5) for more information # Configuration directory configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus # Which partition to use for default mailboxes defaultpartition: default partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail # News setup partition-news: /var/spool/cyrus/news newsspool: /var/spool/news # Uncomment the following and add the space-separated users who # have admin rights admins: admin # No anonymous logins allowanonymouslogin: no # Minimum time between POP mail fetches in minutes popminpoll: 1 # umask used by Cyrus programs umask: 077 on 03.1.30 1:31 AM, Piet Ruyssinck at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On Thu, 30 Jan 2003, dylan wrote: > >> hi, i recently installed the cyrus mail system and am having a few >> problems... >> >> pop3 based service is working fine, however only with clear text passwords >> (which is not ideal) >> >> i have SSL installed, and have instructed it to tunnel an SSL connection to >> the POP and IMAP servers, however i cannot connect to the server and recieve >> mail when i enable SSL on my mail client. >> >> any pointers? > > you could start by trying to connect to your IMAPs/POPs server with > > $ openssl s_client -host hostname.domain -port 993 > and > $ openssl s_client -host hostname.domain -port 995 > > to determine if the problem is with your server or your client. > > > > what does your /etc/cyrus.conf look like ? > > > -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- > Piet RUYSSINCK e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Unix Systeem Administratie tel: +32 9 264 4733 > Directie Informatie- en Communicatietechnologie (ICT) fax: +32 9 264 4994 > Universiteit Gent (RUG) Krijgslaan 281, gebouw S9 - 9000 Gent, Belgie > -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- > Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments > See http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html >
