update-ca-certificates --fresh                                                # CA-Zertifikate aktualisieren

openssl x509 -in mail.example.com.pem -noout -text                            # Check contents of cert file

openssl s_client -connect mail.example.com:587 -starttls smtp                 # SMTP START-TLS Zertifikat überprüfen

CSR mit OpenSSL erstellen:

openssl req -utf8 -nodes -new -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -keyout example.com.key -out example.com.csr      # new private key
openssl req -utf8 -new -key example.com.key -out example.com.csr                                         # existing private key

csr.conf File erstellen

vi /etc/ssl/csr.conf

Inhalt:

[req]
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions = v3_req
prompt = no
[req_distinguished_name]
C = DE
ST = BW
L = Karlsruhe
O = XYZ IT GmbH
OU = IT
CN = www.xyz-it.de
[v3_req]
keyUsage = keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth
subjectAltName = @alt_names
[alt_names]
DNS.1 = abc.xyz-it.de
DNS.2 = www.xyz-it.de
DNS.3 = xyz.de
DNS.4 = mail.xyz.de

Private Key erstellen

openssl genrsa -out xyz-it.de.key 2048

CSR erstellen

openssl req -new -out xyz-it.de.csr -key xyz-it.key.2015 -config /etc/ssl/csr.conf 

Private Key erstellen

openssl genrsa -out mail-smime.key 4096

CSR Erstellen

openssl req -utf8 -new -key mail-smime.key -out mail-smime.csr

Optimal:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[Server Certificate]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[Intermediate certificate L1]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[Intermediate certificate L2]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Unnötig da Root in Browser/OS Cert store bereits enthalten:
