| + | ==== Testing imaps via a client PC and problems ==== | ||
| + | Testing with thunderbird did not go to plan. I normally use thunderbird portable to login and test. | ||
| + | It hung and did not create the account. | ||
| + | In / | ||
| + | |||
| + | After a lot of testing, it turned out it was nothing to do with imapd.pem, but a problem with thunderbird and self-signed certs. Thunderbird did not prompt to allow exception. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Solution 1 - Use Mailbird - it prompted to allow and store exception. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Solution 2 - Fix for Thunderbird for imaps self-signed certs: | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | go to Options > Composition > Addressing | ||
| + | Check Directory server and Edit Directories > Add new | ||
| + | set name to: ' | ||
| + | specify server address: mail.mydomain.com | ||
| + | Base DN: cn=base | ||
| + | Check 'Use secure connection(SSL)' | ||
| + | set port: 993 | ||
| + | Bind DN: cn=user, | ||
| + | Base and Bind DN does not need to exist, cn=user, | ||
| + | Select directory server in the list | ||
| + | Go to Inbox Tab > Address Book | ||
| + | Select fakeLdapDirectory in the list and type something into the search input on top right. If asked for password type anything e.g. ' | ||
| + | You should get ' | ||
