openssl verify /path/to/yourcert.pem

If it needs an intermediate cert:

openssl verify -CAfile /path/to/intermediate.crt /path/to/yourcert.pem

The OpenSSL toolkit allows checking SSL certificate installation on a server either remotely or locally. To check STARTTLS ports, run the following command replacing [port] with the port number and [protocol] with smtp, pop3 or imap value (see the example below) respectively:

openssl s_client -connect example.com:[port] -servername example.com -starttls [protocol] < /dev/null

The same command but without -starttls switch can be used for checking non-STARTTLS ports:

openssl s_client -connect example.com:[port] -servername example.com

This test is easiest and should work from anywhere:

openssl s_client -tls1 -crlf -connect fqdn.yourdomain.com:portnum < /dev/null

If the intermediate certificate is not correct, the test may return (near the end):

Verify return code: 21 (unable to verify the first certificate)

These commands may help in troubleshooting when used on the SSL host itself:

openssl s_client -tls1 -crlf -showcerts -CAfile /etc/postfix/ssl/ca-bundle.pem -connect fqdn.yourdomain.com:465  < /dev/null

With debug:

openssl s_client -tls1 -crlf -showcerts -debug -CAfile /etc/postfix/ssl/ca-bundle.pem -connect fqdn.yourdomain.com:465  < /dev/null

Pipe the output of other openssl commands into this:

 | openssl x509 -noout -enddate

openssl s_client -connect fqdn.hostname.tld:25 -starttls smtp < /dev/null

openssl s_client -connect fqdn.hostname.tld:587 -starttls smtp < /dev/null

openssl s_client -crlf -connect fqdn.hostname.tld:465 < /dev/null

This test connects to the remote server with curl and verifies the key, cert and intermediate CA cert:

curl -G -v --key /etc/postfix/ssl/fqdn.yourdomain.com.key --cert /etc/postfix/ssl/fqdn.yourdomain.com.crt --cacert /etc/postfix/ssl/ca-bundle.pem https://fqdn.yourdomain.com/robots.txt

See how your Apache web server is configured for SSL:

grep -R SSL /etc/apache2/ |grep -v \#

See how Dovecot is configured for SSL with one of these commands:

grep ssl /etc/dovecot.conf

grep -R ssl /etc/dovecot/ |grep -v \#

See how Postfix is configured for SSL:

postconf | grep tls
