What I need now is to create a "Certificate Signing Request" from the already existing dovecot server certificate, or create a new dovecot certificate together with the corresponding CSR.
I go thru that everytime I install a new HP server. The certificate is issued by a card on the server (ILO card). I then sign it:
openssl ca -policy policy_anything -days 3650 -in server-ilo.csr -out server-ilo.crt
Not that.
Apparently I have to do something like this:
openssl req -new -keyout server.key -out server.csr
But that creates the key anew. I would have to find a concoction that given the existing server.key generates the server.csr. I need to produce the server.csr. I don't have it. What I have is /etc/ssl/dovecot.pem and /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem.
I don't see the problem in re-issuing the certificate/key? Anyway, I'm definitely not an expert. Maybe try this: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO/x195.html See "2.5.3. Renew a certificate".
I have found the documentation in paper for SLES, though. Expensive paper.
Huh? You probably don't need to buy SLES just to use the documentation :-)
No, I mean that it is documented on paper by third parties... not that you have to buy SLES to run it. The code is apparently the same on openSUSE, just that this YaST functionality is not explained on the available free documentation, perhaps on purpose.
You can see some pages of it in the link I posted, the book is good. Some pages are missing, intentionally.
