Hallo, i'm having troubles installing self-signed certificates for dovecot. After installing, dovecot generates a key and cert. But he is using the wrong common name (where does dovecot get this name from?). I tried deleting them and installing a handcrafted cert with this: openssl genrsa -out mail.key 2048 openssl req -new -key mail.key -out mail.csr openssl x509 -req -days 4312 -in mail.csr -out mail.cert -signkey mail.key after that i tried to update the dovecont.conf to point to the new files. But dovecot refuses to read them, i allways get an error, that dovecot can't read the certificate file. With dpkg-reconfigure dovecot-common, dovecot generates new ones, and they are working fine, but have the wrong common name. Thanks in advance Regards Benjamin
