How do I configure dovecot-2.0.x to present a client SSL certificate when proxying? If dovecot on server1.example.com has: passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y host=server2.example.com nopassword=y ssl=yes } and dovecot on server2.example.com has: ssl_verify_client_cert = yes auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes then when a client connects to server1 and authenticates, a connection is established to server2 but the SSL handshake fails because server1 doesn't present a client certificate. I don't see where ssl_client_ctx is tied to a client certificate in ssl-proxy-openssl.c. Thanks.

Requires hg version, since these were added after v2.0.16.> If dovecot on server1.example.com has: > passdb { > driver = static > args = proxy=y host=server2.example.com nopassword=y ssl=yes > } > > and dovecot on server2.example.com has: > ssl_verify_client_cert = yes > auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes > > then when a client connects to server1 and authenticates, a connection is established to server2 but the SSL handshake fails because server1 doesn't present a client certificate. I don't see where ssl_client_ctx is tied to a client certificate in ssl-proxy-openssl.c.If you want some kind of automatic client certificate forwarding, I don't think that's possible even in theory since the private key is needed.
