Exporting CA Certificates on the eMail Server 2

Support knowledgebase (rsimai_imap_cacert)

Situation

After having generated a CA, you want to export the CA certificate.

Procedure

Use the following command to create a file that can be imported with a client (e.g. a browser):
openssl x509 -in /usr/ssl/my_cert.pem -out /root/cacert.crl -outform DER
Once the file is copied to the clients, it can be imported there.

However, note that Netscape needs the file to be available on a web page as hyperlink. For this purpose, copy the file to /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/cacert.crl and add a link where necessary in the files indexDE.html and indexEN.html in the same directory. For example:
<a href="cacert.crt">CA Download</a>
Now load the eMail Server's login page in the browser and click on the link.
