Sry guys!! after entering this command below; openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in smtpd.csr -signkey smtpd.key -out smtpd.crt I get the following smtpd.csr no such file or directory Where do I mkdir or file for the above or have I screwed up some when else I managed to get past the pass phrase part ok NOOB here look out!!!
I assume you are on this section mkdir /etc/postfix/ssl cd /etc/postfix/ssl/ openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024 chmod 600 smtpd.key openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -out smtpd.csr openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in smtpd.csr -signkey smtpd.key -out smtpd.crt openssl rsa -in smtpd.key -out smtpd.key.unencrypted mv -f smtpd.key.unencrypted smtpd.key openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650 You need to double check the steps In this step openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -out smtpd.csr You create the file needed for this step openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in smtpd.csr -signkey smtpd.key -out smtpd.crt As i say double check you followed the whole section to the letter
