NAME

mkpop3dcert − create a test SSL certificate for POP3 over SSL

SYNOPSIS

@sbindir@/mkpop3dcert

DESCRIPTION

POP3 over SSL requires a valid, signed, X.509 certificate. The default location for the certificate file is @datadir@/pop3d.pem. mkpop3dcert generates a self−signed X.509 certificate, mainly for testing. For production use the X.509 certificate must be signed by a recognized certificate authority, in order for mail clients to accept the certificate.

@datadir@/pop3d.pem must be owned by the @mailuser@ user and have no group or world permissions. The mkpop3dcert command will enforce this. To prevent an unfortunate accident, mkpop3dcert will not work if @datadir@/pop3d.pem already exists.

mkpop3dcert requires OpenSSL to be installed.

FILES

@datadir@/pop3d.pem

X.509 certificate.

@sysconfdir@/pop3d.cnf

Parameters used by OpenSSL to create the X.509 certificate.
