Topic: No access after updating SSL

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.2
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian 8.1
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Apache
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? NO
====

I recently updated the ssl certificates for postfix,dovecot, and apache. I restarted all the services after doing so. I even restarted the server. Now I cannot connect via http to my linode. Everything was perfect up until i changed the ssl. Now no one can connect.

Re: No access after updating SSL

If you don't tell us how you updated SSL, and what errors in log files, no one can help troubleshoot. So please go grab related logs and show us your upgrade steps.

Re: No access after updating SSL

Hi
SSL-customization guide is excellent, but part of the LDAP setup is not complete...
After i simply change the settings SLAPD-service also does not start. As a result - no access to the panel or to the mailboxes. After returning SSL settings for SLAPD to their original values service successfully started and access restored:
TLSCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.ca-bundle
TLSCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.crt
TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/server.key

As I understand it, we must also import information about the filenames of new certificates into the LDAP-schema. Can you complete this part of your guide?

What's the owner and permission of these SSL cert/key files?

There's no such "certificate in the LDAP-schema".

I corrected my original phrase. I wanted to say "... we must also import information about the filenames of new certificates into the LDAP-schema ..."

Re: No access after updating SSL

Your cert needs: -rw-r--r-- (root:root)
Your key needs: -rw-r----- (root ssl-cert)

Re: No access after updating SSL

I doubt
iRedMail.crt certificate is installed by default with such rights as I have. My certificate was originally rights 0600 (owners root: root). then I changed them in different combinations, but with my certificates SLAPD does not start.

This blog is not very fresh, but it is the most complete description of the actions of those that I have found:
http://rogermoffatt.com/2011/08/24/ubun … th-ssltls/

I have not tried this method, because I would like to get advice from the developers.

Re: No access after updating SSL

How about check old iRedMail cert/key files?
You can fix it with command 'chmod +r /path/to/cert' (or key)

Re: No access after updating SSL

What's the error message if you start openldap manually like 'slapd -u openldap -g openldap -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf -d 256'?

You are sure that your certkey is not protected by a password?

Re: No access after updating SSL

TLSCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.ca-bundle
TLSCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.crt
TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/server.key

*) Make sure all 3 files exist on the right place.
*) Try with permission 0700 first for testing, then set it to 0644.

Re: No access after updating SSL

Sorry, there's a typo in my last reply. Please try file permission 0777, then 0644.

Default owner/group is "root:root", permission 0644.
