Hi,
After added the above option in impad.conf file, imap/pop3 login failed.
This because the server only provide plain text login I think.
What should configure cyrus-imapd so that I can use this option to authenticate with mail client?
Thanks Sam

Hi Sam,
I think the most simple way of setting up your server with encrypted passwords is by using (as already suggested):
tls_ca_path: /etc/ssl/certs tls_cert_file: /etc/ssl/cyrus/mail.crt tls_key_file: /etc/ssl/cyrus/mail.key
But when you do this, you must of course create the certificate and the key in the configured directories. When you google for self signed certificates, you will find lots of info. Also make sure that you give the certficate enough rights, in order for the cyrus server to read it. I am not sure if the certificate must be owned by cyrus, or that you can change the group to cyrus (and make it group readable)
Hope this helps,
Cheers, Kees
