I had a hard time to figure out how to use Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate on a Kerio Connect Mail server running on a Windows 2012 R2 Webserver \/ IIS<\/p>\n

The first thing I installed is called Certify the Web!
\nhttps:\/\/certifytheweb.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

This tool was already deploy on the Windows 2012 R2 Server, follow the step or dig out how to deploy Certify the Web on your Windows 2012 R2 Server.<\/p>\n

The first thing to do! You must request a certificate using Certify the Web<\/strong> for the PRIMARY mail domain name;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So now you have a valid certificate for mail.yourdomain.x<\/p>\n

just test it… https:\/\/mail.yourdomain.x<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now to use the Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate on your Kerio Connect mail server, you must use a tool to be able to export the .key and .crt file to your Kerio Connect mail server. This tool is called DigiCert Certificate Utility Free for Windows!<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.digicert.com\/util\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Next Step is to get our hand on those .key and .crt files<\/p>\n

1. Yes, export the private key with this…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. You must provide a password to your private key…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Save the Private Key… You will use this KEY file for Kerio Connect<\/p>\n

4. Now export the certificate itself<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Again save this file! This will generate the .cer for your Kerio Connect mail server.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You should have now in your directory those files…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now let see in Kerio Connect what to do!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now import your .key and .crt files into Kerio Connect SSL Certificate<\/p>\n

You have now Kerio Connect using a Let’s Encrypt Certificate that will be valid for a period of 3 months. The down side of this is that you will have to manually repeat this every time the key expired or maybe not! Will see in 3 months \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Now your Kerio Connect mail server running on a Windows Server will be able to offer secured SSL email connection!<\/p>\n
