Setup eMail with self signed certificates

📦 Install & Upgrade Help

I have eMail running now. When I try and set up an eMail ID to pull from my internal eMail server I get the following error:

Certificate failure for mail.dbwsys.mb.ca: self signed certificate: /C=–/ST=SomeState/L=SomeCity/O=SomeOrganization/OU=SomeOrganizationalUnit/CN=localhost.localdomain/emailAddress=root@localhost.localdomain

Please check your settings and try again.

How do I get SuiteCRM to accept this certificate and move on?

Anyone know how to get around this?

Hi,

As this is a self signed certificate, you will need to get a copy of the certificate from the mail.dbwsys.mb.ca server (its usually a crt file).

You then copy this to the user certs directory on the suitecrm server and import it.

Note: If your self signed certificate has a host name that doesn’t match then you will be scuppered (the only alternative is to allow non sll auth on the email server).
