Otherwise, + suggest parameter settings without making any changes. + + Specify <i>randsource</i> to update the value of the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#tls_random_source">tls_random_source</a></b> + configuration parameter (typically, /dev/urandom). Prepend <b>dev:</b> + to device paths or <b>egd:</b> to EGD socket paths. + + See also the <b>all-default-client</b> subcommand. + + <b>enable-server</b> [<b>-r</b> <i>randsource</i>] [<b>-a</b> <i>algorithm</i>] [<b>-b</b> <i>bits</i>] [<i>hostname</i><b>...</b>] + Create a new private key and self-signed server certificate and + enable opportunistic TLS in the Postfix SMTP server, if all SMTP + server TLS settings are at their default values. Otherwise, + suggest parameter settings without making any changes. + + The <i>randsource</i> parameter is as with <b>enable-client</b> above, and the + remaining options are as with <b>new-server-key</b> below. + + See also the <b>all-default-server</b> subcommand. + + <b>new-server-key</b> [<b>-a</b> <i>algorithm</i>] [<b>-b</b> <i>bits</i>] [<i>hostname</i><b>...</b>] + Create a new private key and self-signed server certificate, but + do not deploy them. Log and display commands to deploy the new + key and corresponding certificate. Also log and display com- + mands to output a corresponding CSR or TLSA records which may be + needed to obtain a CA certificate or to update DNS before the + new key can be deployed. + + The <i>algorithm</i> defaults to <b>rsa</b>, and <i>bits</i> defaults to 2048. If + you choose the <b>ecdsa</b> <i>algorithm</i> then <i>bits</i> will be an EC curve + name (by default <b>secp256r1</b>, also known as prime256v1). Curves + other than <b>secp256r1</b>, <b>secp384r1</b> or <b>secp521r1</b> are unlikely to be + widely interoperable. When generating EC keys, use one of these + three. DSA keys are obsolete and are not supported. + + Note: ECDSA support requires OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later and may not + be available on your system. Not all client systems will sup- + port ECDSA, so you'll generally want to deploy both RSA and + ECDSA certificates to make use of ECDSA with compatible clients + and RSA with the rest. If you want to deploy certificate chains + with intermediate CAs for both RSA and ECDSA, you'll want at + least OpenSSL 1.0.2, as earlier versions may not handle multiple + chain files correctly. + + The first <i>hostname</i> argument will be the <b>CommonName</b> of both the + subject and issuer of the self-signed certificate. It, and any + additional <i>hostname</i> arguments, will also be listed as DNS alter- + native names in the certificate. If no <i>hostname</i> is provided the + value of the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#myhostname">myhostname</a></b> <a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a> parameter will be used. + + For RSA, the generated private key and certificate files are + named <b>key-</b><i>yyyymmdd-hhmmss</i><b>.pem</b> and <b>cert-</b><i>yyyymmdd-hhmmss</i><b>.pem</b>, + where <i>yyyymmdd</i> is the calendar date and <i>hhmmss</i> is the time of + day in UTC. For ECDSA, the file names start with <b>eckey-</b> and + <b>eccert-</b> instead of <b>key-</b> and <b>cert-</b> respectively. + + Before deploying the new key and certificate with DANE, update + the DNS with new DANE TLSA records, then wait for secondary + nameservers to update and then for stale records in remote DNS + caches to expire. + + Before deploying a new CA certificate make sure to include all + the required intermediate issuing CA certificates in the cer- + tificate chain file. The server certificate must be the first + certificate in the chain file. Overwrite and deploy the file + with the original self-signed certificate that was generated + together with the key. + + <b>new-server-cert</b> [<b>-a</b> <i>algorithm</i>] [<b>-b</b> <i>bits</i>] [<i>hostname</i><b>...</b>] + This is just like <b>new-server-key</b> except that, rather than gener- + ating a new private key, any currently deployed private key is + copied to the new key file. Thus if you're publishing DANE TLSA + "3 1 1" or "3 1 2" records, there is no need to update DNS + records. The <i>algorithm</i> and <i>bits</i> arguments are used only if no + key of the same algorithm is already configured. + + This command is rarely needed, because the self-signed certifi- + cates generated have a 100-year nominal expiration time. The + underlying public key algorithms may well be obsoleted by quan- + tum computers long before then. + + The most plausible reason for using this command is when the + system hostname changes, and you'd like the name in the certifi- + cate to match the new hostname (not required for DANE "3 1 1", + but some needlessly picky non-DANE opportunistic TLS clients may + log warnings or even refuse to communicate). + + <b>deploy-server-cert</b> <i>certfile keyfile</i> + This subcommand deploys the certificates in <i>certfile</i> and private + key in <i>keyfile</i> (which are typically generated by the commands + above, which will also log and display the full command needed + to deploy the generated key and certificate). After the new + certificate and key are deployed any obsolete keys and certifi- + cates may be removed by hand. The <i>keyfile</i> and <i>certfile</i> file- + names may be relative to the Postfix configuration directory. + + <b>output-server-csr</b> [<b>-k</b> <i>keyfile</i>] [<i>hostname</i><b>...</b>] + Write to stdout a certificate signing request (CSR) for the + specified <i>keyfile</i>. + + Instead of an absolute pathname or a pathname relative to $<a href="postconf.5.html#config_directory">con</a>- + <a href="postconf.5.html#config_directory">fig_directory</a>, <i>keyfile</i> may specify one of the supported key + algorithm names (see "<b>postconf -T public-key-algorithms</b>").
