I try to enable SSL for dovecot. So I generate/installed the certificates with openssl. But when I try to test the conncection the client reports errors. Maybe somebody could help me resp. point me into the right direction?

Command Line Input: openssl s_client -connect localhost:pop3s

Result/Error: 

CONNECTED(00000003)
47751153546184:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake  failure:s23_lib.c:177:

Dovecot version: 2.0.9

Openssl version: 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

Dovecot config for SSL:

ssl = yes
ssl_cert = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem

OpenSSL comand line how the certs has been generated:

openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private/dovecot.pem -out certs/dovecot.pem -days 365

Any hints are welcome. Thanks oyu in advance.

regards Mark
