Post subject:  Postfix: PositiveSSL Cert Install Problem

I'm trying to install an SSL certificate into dovecot and postfix. Here's the various files I have:


mail_exit66.crt
PostiveSSLCA2.crt
AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt

mail_exit66.key

I combined the 3 crts into one file (in the order above) and put it into /etc/ssl/certs/mail_exit66.pem and the key followed by the 3 crts into one file and put it into /etc/ssl/private/mail_exit66.pem.

I assigned them in the dovecot config (10-ssl.conf) and that works fine with out an SSL warning.

However, postfix isn't working so well and still gives the SSL warnings.

I've tried the various combinations based off various information I got off the interwebs:

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mail_exit66.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail_exit66.pem

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mail_exit66.crt
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail_exit66.key

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mail_exit66.crt
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail_exit66.key
smtpd_tls_CAfile=/etc/ssl/certs/AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mail_exit66.crt
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail_exit66.key
smtpd_tls_CAfile=/etc/ssl/certs/PostiveSSLCA2.crt

Any ideas on how I can get this working?

Thanks,
Andy

And to add, there are no errors on starting Postfix in /var/log/syslog

Try this:

Code:
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mail_exit66.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail_exit66.key


Note it's smtpd_tls_key_file, not smtpd_tls_private_file.

Turns out that was a typo, I am using smtpd_tls_key_file. So I'm still stuck.

Ok. I got it working by following instructions from here: http://www.byteslounge.com/tutorials/postfix-dovecot-ssl-configuration-example

In master.cf:

at the end of the smtp line add:

Code:
-o smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/mail_exit66.crt
-o smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/mail_exit66.key


at the end of the smtps line add:

Code:
-o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
-o smtpd_tls_cert_file=/home/root/certs/domain.crt
-o smtpd_tls_key_file=/home/root/certs/domain.key
