Re: [edlug] Renewing SSL Certificate



Thanks Brian,

    I've now uncovered where the IMAP certificate lies, however, on reading
    over your email, and supporting litreature, it appears that you need to use
    the SSL tool called req, which does not come with the OpenSSL software in
    Red Hat 9. I trawled the web at various RPM repositories, there were copies
    of this tool in other SSL packages, but they were all very old looking.

    Anyone any idea where I get this tool, or is there an alternate way to
    renew the certificate.

Regards,

Alistair Ross
