Security Certificate
- Abstract: Create Certificate
- Generate key
- Generate signing request
- Sign the key
- Create server certificate
- Set permission
- Set owner
- Copy into place
- Restart services
- Implementation
- Self-Signed Certificate
- # openssl genrsa -out x.key 2048
- # openssl req -new -key x.key -out x.csr
- # openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in x.csr -signkey x.key -out x.crt
- # cat x.crt x.key > servercert.pem
- # chmod 644 servercert.pem
- # chown root:qmail servercert.pem
- # cp -p servercert.pem /var/qmail/control
- Let's Encrypt (Assumes working web server)
- # dnf -y install certbot python3-certbot-apache
- # certbot -apache -d mydomain.com -d mail.mydomain.com

- # cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.com/privkey.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.com/fullchain.pem > ./servercert.pem
- # cp ./servercert.pem /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
- Cron auto renew (script below)

- Application: Godaddy Signed Certificate
- # openssl genrsa -out x.key 2048
- # openssl req -new -key x.key -out x.csr
- Submit signing request (x.csr) to Godaddy; Later download signed key (crt and crt bundle)
- # cat x.key 7531fdb8504afe19.crt gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt > servercert.pem
- # chmod 644 servercert.pem
- # chown root:qmail servercert.pem
- # cp -p servercert.pem /var/qmail/control
- Restart Qmail and Dovecot
- # qmailctl stop && sleep 2 && qmailctl start
- # systemctl restart dovecot
- # systemctl restart httpd
