<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
IMAP over SSL requires a valid, signed, X.509 certificate. The default
location for the certificate file is
<filename moreinfo="none">@certsdir@/imapd.pem</filename>.
<command moreinfo="none">mkimapdcert</command> 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.</para>
<para>
<filename moreinfo="none">@certsdir@/imapd.pem</filename> must be owned by the
@mailuser@ user and
have no group or world permissions.
The <command moreinfo="none">mkimapdcert</command> command will
enforce this. To prevent an unfortunate accident,
<command moreinfo="none">mkimapdcert</command>
will not work if <command moreinfo="none">@certsdir@/imapd.pem</command> already exists.</para>
<para>
<command moreinfo="none">mkimapdcert</command> requires
<application moreinfo="none">OpenSSL</application> to be installed.</para>
