Can i Use 3rd part SSL with Dovecot

[Peter_R]

i assume that every one who uses plesk and connects email clients get an error "Mail can't verify the identity...." when connecting to plesk imap. Plesk Default ssl is used.

I use plesk 12.5 and i purchased Comodo SSL for the specific domain.

I assign that cert to the domain and have HTTPS connections.

However the Mail still goes to Default Plesk SSL?!.

I was under the impression that if i assign Validated SSL Cert to the Hosting all services should be using that assigned cert if required.

Please correct me if i am wrong and please advise how to fix it?
Is there a way to simply enable it in the panel ? i am newbie.

Thanks

You are unfortunately wrong, Plesk doesn't manage the mail server certificates (yet), you can simply download the certificate from Plesk and upload the required parts.
There's a KB on it here...

I hope that helps
Kind regards

I have a host edition , how do i do that for all domains that i host for my customers?
what i mean is that i have multiple ssl certs for each domain.

what i see applies to only 1 cert and 1 domain.
how do i fix that for domains?

I also noticed that KB is for Courier-IMAP

i am using Dovecot . is there any other info ?

Hi Peter,
sorry for the delay, with Dovecot you can find the .pem file in

/etc/dovecot/private/ssl-cert-and-key.pem

On Ubuntu anyway.

And restart with...

service dovecot restart

And that should get it sorted.
Hope it helps
Kind regards

Ok i am on Centos7 but it seems to be in the same location.

as i mentioned before i use multiple SSL for different domain.

Do i include 2 ssl parts for each domain i want to use ssl in that one file ? ->
ssl-cert-and-key.pem ( multiple ssl entries here ) ?

thx
will that file get cleaned after any plesk updates?

Hi Perter,
no not like that, you'd want to use the SSL cert for the name of the server eg mail.myhostingcompany.tld that you also have a rDNS for.
The .pem file should include...

Private Key
Domain Cert
Intermediate 1
Intermediate 2

Of the mail.myhostingcompany.tld certificate.
From there you can add the other IP addresses and Certificates, someone else may be able to help with that...

I'll see if i can find my notes on Postfix
