## Dual use of RSA and ECDSA certificates
|
||||
|
||||
Newer versions of Let's Encrypt clients (as of [Certbot 2.0.0](https://eff-certbot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/using.html#rsa-and-ecdsa-keys)
|
||||
or Dehydrated ) defaults to ECDSA certificates.
|
||||
This could be a problem with older mail servers which only support RSA ciphers. Postfix can use both RSA and ECDSA certificates
|
||||
at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use [Dehydrated](https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated) follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add your domain to `/etc/dehydrated/domains.txt`:
|
||||
```Shell
|
||||
mx.example.org
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Add another entry to `/etc/dehydrated/domains.txt` for the RSA certificate and use the alias to force a different directory name:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mx.example.org
|
||||
mx.example.org > mx.example.org_rsa
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Create the certificate's directory:
|
||||
```Shell
|
||||
mkdir /var/lib/dehydrated/certs/mx.example.org_rsa
|
||||
chmod 0700 /var/lib/dehydrated/certs/mx.example.org_rsa
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Create a config `/var/lib/dehydrated/certs/mx.example.org_rsa/config` with the following setting:
|
||||
```
|
||||
KEY_ALGO="rsa"
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Obtain the certificate:
|
||||
```Shell
|
||||
dehydrated --cron
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Add all certificates to Postfix' `main.cf`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /var/lib/dehydrated/certs/mx.example.org_rsa/fullchain.pem
|
||||
smtpd_tls_key_file = /var/lib/dehydrated/certs/mx.example.org_rsa/privkey.pem
|
||||
smtpd_tls_eccert_file = /var/lib/dehydrated/certs/mx.example.org/fullchain.pem
|
||||
smtpd_tls_eckey_file = /var/lib/dehydrated/certs/mx.example.org/privkey.pem
|
||||
```
