Title:
  Client certificate verfication fails

Status in dovecot package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If you use the option
  auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes

  Then no matter how carefully you follow the documentation are all the
  attempts provide support your clients (e.g. Thunderbird) will fail to
  connect to the dovecot mail server.  This issue does not with cyrus-
  imap mail server.

  I have investigated the code and believe I have found and fixed the
  issue (the attached patch makes verification of client side SSL
  certificates work for me, which is NOT true without the patch).

  Basically the OpenSSL logic is wrong when it comes to setting up the
  client side verification.

  I have a DebDiff against Trusty that fixes the issue. (Attached).
