IMAP-SSL

Post by twitch »

Hi

Has anyone successfully configured IMAP to work with an SSL Certificate?
I have managed to configure it to work without SSL, however with SSL enabled ie(Require SSL ticked), Users fail to authenticate with the server even though connections are allowed.

Anyone have ideas of how this works?

Cheers

I have followed instructions on the following Knowledgebase Article:
ME020479 - PRB: SSL does not function when selecting an SSL certificate
http://www.mailenable.com/kb/Content/Ar ... D=me020479

I have turned debugging on an noticed the following errors:

Any one have any ideas? Btw, this is running on Windows 2008 R2 and is version 6.0.2.

Please Help?:$

Aha!
I tried something, i basically made.\IME_SYSTEM a member of the Local administrators group and it seemed to bind to the certificate with out error. So i assume , it is to do with the fact that, the .\IME_SYSTEM does not have permission to access the cert store even though the user has been granted full access.

Anyway, i'll have to reverse the change as it is not good to have .\IME_SYSTEM having so much privileges.

I've found that in Server 2008, you still have to use the WinHttpCertCfg utility mentioned here: http://www.mailenable.com/kb/Content/Ar ... D=me020479 even though that article says you only need to use that utility for 2000 and 2003. Has anyone else had to use WinHttpCertCfg?
