I have tried all the suggestions up till now but the error message is still there. I have tried this configuaration for roundcube: $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( 'ssl' => array( 'peer_name' => '<FQDN_OF_DOVECOT_CERTIFICATE>', 'verify_peer' => true, 'verify_depth' => 3, // 'cafile' => '/dont/need/to/set/this/option', ), ); and this one: $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( 'ssl' => array( 'verify_peer' => false, 'verify_peer_name' => false, ), ); and this one too: $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( 'ssl' => array( 'verify_peer' => true, 'verify_depth' => 3, 'cafile' => '/path/to/my/self/signed/certificate.pem', ), ); I'm at a loss :-( On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 08:43:11AM +0200, Dr. Matthias Sitte wrote:> Solution: Set 'peer_name' in the SSL stream context to the FQDN of the > server certificate(s): > > // IMAP socket context options > // See http://php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php > $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( > 'ssl' => array( > 'peer_name' => '<FQDN_OF_DOVECOT_CERTIFICATE>', > 'verify_peer' => true, > 'verify_depth' => 3, > #'cafile' => '/dont/need/to/set/this/option', > ), > ); > > // SMTP socket context options > // See http://php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php > $config['smtp_conn_options'] = array( > 'ssl' => array( > 'peer_name' => '<FQDN_OF_POSTFIX_CERTIFICATE>', > 'verify_peer' => true, > 'verify_depth' => 3, > #'cafile' => '/dont/need/to/set/this/option', > ), > ); > > Works for me. > > On 2016-06-16 20:43, Maurizio Dall'Acqua wrote: > >I think that you are right when you say that the problem may be the > >certificate recognition. > > > >As for Roundcube, I've inserted the uncommented php code that you provided > >in /usr/share/roundcube/main.inc.php.dist, which is the Raspbian file for > >/config/defaults.inc.php.

What does openssl say when you connect to your dovecot server? openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect <ip>:143 With my previous setup (Roundcube 1.1.3; PHP 5.6) I was successfully using only "verify_peer" and "verify_peer_name", both set to false, when connecting to a very old Courier-IMAP server using a self-signed certificate. E.g. $config['default_host'] = array( 'tls://<ip>:143' => 'implicit STARTTLS', 'ssl://<ip>:993' => 'explicit SSL', ); $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( 'ssl' => array( 'verify_peer' => false, 'verify_peer_name' => false, ), ); /Tobias On 2016-06-18 13:34, Gedalya wrote:> What version of Roundcube are you using? > > On 06/17/2016 04:14 PM, Maurizio Dall'Acqua wrote: >> I have tried all the suggestions up till now but the error message is >> still >> there. >> >> I have tried this configuaration for roundcube: >> >> $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( >> 'ssl' => array( >> 'peer_name' => '<FQDN_OF_DOVECOT_CERTIFICATE>', >> 'verify_peer' => true, >> 'verify_depth' => 3, >> // 'cafile' => '/dont/need/to/set/this/option', >> ), >> ); >> >> and this one: >> >> $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( >> 'ssl' => array( >> 'verify_peer' => false, >> 'verify_peer_name' => false, >> ), >> ); >> >> and this one too: >> >> $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( >> 'ssl' => array( >> 'verify_peer' => true, >> 'verify_depth' => 3, >> 'cafile' => '/path/to/my/self/signed/certificate.pem', >> ), >> ); >> >> I'm at a loss :-( >> >> >> >> >> >> On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 08:43:11AM +0200, Dr. Matthias Sitte wrote: >>> Solution: Set 'peer_name' in the SSL stream context to the FQDN of >>> the >>> server certificate(s): >>> >>> // IMAP socket context options >>> // See http://php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php >>> $config['imap_conn_options'] = array( >>> 'ssl' => array( >>> 'peer_name' => '<FQDN_OF_DOVECOT_CERTIFICATE>', >>> 'verify_peer' => true, >>> 'verify_depth' => 3, >>> #'cafile' => '/dont/need/to/set/this/option', >>> ), >>> ); >>> >>> // SMTP socket context options >>> // See http://php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php >>> $config['smtp_conn_options'] = array( >>> 'ssl' => array( >>> 'peer_name' => '<FQDN_OF_POSTFIX_CERTIFICATE>', >>> 'verify_peer' => true, >>> 'verify_depth' => 3, >>> #'cafile' => '/dont/need/to/set/this/option', >>> ), >>> ); >>> >>> Works for me. >>> >>> On 2016-06-16 20:43, Maurizio Dall'Acqua wrote: >>>> I think that you are right when you say that the problem may be the >>>> certificate recognition. >>>> >>>> As for Roundcube, I've inserted the uncommented php code that you >>>> provided >>>> in /usr/share/roundcube/main.inc.php.dist, which is the Raspbian >>>> file for >>>> /config/defaults.inc.php.

OK, what if you try to set 'peer_name' to the FQDN in the self-signed cert AND 'cafile' to your CA file? What exactly do the debug logs for Roundcube, Dovecot say? openssl connect output would be helpful, too, as others pointed out as well.
