It is - that's just "belt and braces" stuff (also known as "defence in depth" :-) )

My *real* issue (if I understand things correctly - which, there's a significant chance that I don't) is telling dovecot which TLS certificate to use to connect to the MariaDB back-end.

Mind you, that's *not* the same cert that the users use to connect to dovecot :-)

I'm using a MariaDB backend to a Dovecot server, with TLS required by
the MariaDB server for connections.

My sql_dovecot.conf.ext file is using the following connection line:
`connect = host=mariadb.example.com dbname=mail_server user=vmail
password={REDACTED} ssl_ca=/etc/pki/tls/certs/root_ca.crt`.

I can't work out from the doco or Google what else I need in that line,
but I suspect it'll be something like:
`ssl_cert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/vmail_rsa.pem
ssl_key=/etc/pki/tls/certs/vmail_rsa.key`.

Could someone please confirm this and let me know the actual extra
commands/options - thanks

Why not add your CA to the OS default?
