MKPOP3DCERT(8)              Double Precision, Inc.              MKPOP3DCERT(8)


NAME

       mkpop3dcert - create a test SSL certificate for POP3 over SSL


SYNOPSIS

       /usr/local/sbin/mkpop3dcert


DESCRIPTION

       POP3 over SSL requires a valid, signed, X.509 certificate. The default
       location for the certificate file is /usr/local/share/courier-
       imap/pop3d.pem.  mkpop3dcert generates a self-signed X.509 certificate,
       mainly for testing. For production use the X.509 certificate must be
       signed by a recognized certificate authority, in order for mail clients
       to accept the certificate.

       /usr/local/share/courier-imap/pop3d.pem must be owned by the root user
       and have no group or world permissions. The mkpop3dcert command will
       enforce this. To prevent an unfortunate accident, mkpop3dcert will not
       work if /usr/local/share/courier-imap/pop3d.pem already exists.

       mkpop3dcert requires OpenSSL to be installed.


FILES

       /usr/local/share/courier-imap/pop3d.pem
           X.509 certificate.

       /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/pop3d.cnf
           Parameters used by OpenSSL to create the X.509 certificate.
