SSL Certificate Installation in Courier IMAP

Installing your Courier IMAP SSL Digital Certificate

1) Collect your Certificate files:
Login to your DigiCert Customer Account,and collect your primary and intermediate certificate files. Also, locate your private key (your_domain_name.key) that was generated with your CSR.

2) Create a combined .pem certificate file
Open a text editor and paste the contents of the primary certificate and the private key one after another in the following order:

1. The Primary Certificate (your_domain_name.crt)
2. The Private Key (your_domain_name.key)

Include the 'BEGIN' and 'END' tags on each. The result should look like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Primary SSL certificate: your_domain_name.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
(Your Private Key: your_domain_name.key)
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Save the combined file as digicertpack.pem

3) Save the DigiCert Intermediate certificate:
Copy the Digicert intermediate certificate (DigiCertCA.crt) into a text editor and save it as a new file named digicertca.txt.

4) Securing your Courier IMAP:

Locate and open imapd-ssl file (typically found in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/). Add the following directives and file locations:
  • TLS_CERTFILE=/some/path/digicertpack.pem
  • TLS_TRUSTCERTS=/some/path/digicertca.txt
  • Please verify that line below line is allowing SSL3
    TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL3

    5) Securing your POP3:

    Locate and open pop3d-ssl file (typically found in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/). Add the following directives and file locations:
  • TLS_CERTFILE=/some/path/digicertpack.pem
  • TLS_TRUSTCERTS=/some/path/digicertca.txt
  • 6) File permissions:

    Make sure that the file permissions are set so that digicertpack.pem is readable by root only

    7) Restart the Courier IMAP server.
