QPopper

Installing your SSL Certificate / Web Server Certificate / Secure Server Certificate from RapidSSL.com

Firstly when your issuance email arrives you will find your webserver certificate within the email body.

1. Create a new file consisting of your private key and your certificate file (the webserver certificate contained within the email) as below:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[encoded key]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[encoded certificate]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

2. Then save the file as /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem.

3. When you are setting up the SSL support you will need to access the configuration file which will probably be available at /etc/mail/pop/qpopper.config.

4. Open the qpopper.config and locate the following directives (they may be commented out by #). It may be necessary to add the above directives if they are not present.

set tls-support = stls
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem

If you are using OpenSSL you may need to specify the private key as a seperate file. If this is the case, add the following the config:

set tls-private-key-file = /etc/mail/certs/yourkeyfile.pem

5. Restart your web / mail service for the installation to be completed. In some instances, it may be necessary to physically restart the actual machine.
