I took the imap.pem and Winscp'd it to my local Micro$oft box. IE says "the filetype is not recognisable. Select another file" about imap.cer that is a copy of the imap.pem.
Any ideas ? /Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Jansen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 11:40 AM Subject: [courier-users] Re: Certificate On Tuesday 08 July 2003 01:40, "Lars Holmström" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I use SSL based IMAP and POP3.

The certificate the client "sees" depends on which "service" you are using. If OE uses IMAP to read mail then when it connects to courier's imap server, courier presents the imapd.pem certificate. When OE connects to courier's esmtp server to send mail then courier presents the esmtpd.pem certificate. If it connects to courier's pop3 server then courier presents the pop3d.pem certificate. You get the idea. > I did read how to import certificates in to OE6 but I can > not admit it was totally clear. If some on know how to do > this I would be glad. Outlook and OE both use Internet Explorer's certificate store and settings, so your users need to import the certificate into IE. In order to do that they need a copy of the certificate. Copy the certificate itself (the part that looks like -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- ) into a new file with a ".cer" extension. Then make that file available to your users. You can email it to people, put it on a file server, put it on a web browser, etc. Depending on their version of Windows/IE, folks can usually open the file in IE or Windows Explorer and it asks you if you want to install it. Just follow the instructions. If that doesn't work then you can import it manually into IE by going to Tools->Internet Options in IE. Select the Content tab and then click on the Certificate button. Then in the Certificate Manager click on the Import button and follow the directions in the wizard. Once it's imported then shouldn't see any error messages again (This is for IE 5 but I think 6 is the same.) Remember that the CN on the certificate should match the server name in OE. If your certificate is for "www.domain.com" but in OE the mail server name is "mail.domain.com" then you'll get an error because the certificate being presented doesn't match the name being asked for. Also, if you are using the certificates that courier creates automatically, then you'll need to import all three certificates since courier uses separate certificates for each service. (I made my own using openssl and then symlinked to those three .pem files so users only had to import one certificate.)
