Hi, I am trying to setup Imap capabilities on my server, jungleg.com hosted at linode. I setup the UW-Imap application, generated the keys using openssl, and have it set to listen on port 995. (I followed this tutorial http://www.vanemery.com/Protocols/POP/p ... howto.html) I try to access it from Thunderbird, and I get an error "could not get access because certificate is invalid or corrupted". This is the dialog I am getting from a remote location, thanks for any direction!!! fetchmail: 6.2.0 querying www.jungleg.com (protocol IMAP) at Sat Mar 12 15:16:04 2005: poll started fetchmail: Issuer Organization: JungleG Inc. fetchmail: Issuer CommonName: www.jungleg.com fetchmail: Server CommonName: www.jungleg.com fetchmail: www.jungleg.com key fingerprint: 33:54:20:E3:41:0A:37:A8:CB:39:62:F5:89:97:EE:EA fetchmail: Warning: server certificate verification: self signed certificate fetchmail: Issuer Organization: JungleG Inc. fetchmail: Issuer CommonName: www.jungleg.com fetchmail: Server CommonName: www.jungleg.com fetchmail: Warning: server certificate verification: certificate signature failure fetchmail: Issuer Organization: JungleG Inc. fetchmail: Issuer CommonName: www.jungleg.com fetchmail: Server CommonName: www.jungleg.com fetchmail: Warning: server certificate verification: certificate signature failure fetchmail: IMAP< +OK POP3 li7-233.members.linode.com v2001.78rh server ready fetchmail: IMAP> A0001 CAPABILITY fetchmail: IMAP< -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command fetchmail: IMAP< -ERR Autologout; idle for too long fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on jorescobar@jungleg.com fetchmail: socket error while fetching from www.jungleg.com fetchmail: 6.2.0 querying www.jungleg.com (protocol IMAP) at Sat Mar 12 15:19:04 2005: poll completed fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: normal termination, status 2 |

jungleg: Your certificate is self-signed. That alone will cause a lot of programs to at least ask the user whether or not to accept it. I don't know how Thunderbird works but somewhere there'll probably be an option to let you accept invalid or suspect SSL certificates - turn it on and then when you use it on your server, accept the certificate. Hopefully it should work then. |

I found this guide http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001075.html helpful in setting up SSL. You need to first generate a root CA certificate. This then signs certs for various services. The root cert needs to be installed on client computers in order avoid the nasty invalid cert error. I haven't used thunderbird, but you should be able to browse to the ca.crt root CA certificate generated using firefox and it will give the option of installing it for mail purposes. I have self signed a root cert and I'm currently using it for a OSX client (Entourage) and Outlook2003 on XP. In XP you can doubleclick the ca.crt file to install. I can't remember exactly how I did the OSX install, a bit trickier had to use some x509_auth or some such program to get the keychain to accept. |
