NAME

       imap_ssl_cert - connects to an IMAP server using SSL and saves the server certificate into a .pem file

SYNOPSIS

	imap_ssl_cert -H imap.server.com > server_ca_file.pem
	imap_ssl_cert -?
	imap_ssl_cert --help

DEPENDENCIES

       This utility requires the following perl modules to be installed:

       Getopt::Long Mail::IMAPClient IO::Socket::SSL Net::SSLeay

OPTIONS

       --timeout <seconds>
	   Abort with critical status if it takes longer than <seconds> to connect to the IMAP server. Default is 60 seconds.  The difference
	   between timeout and critical is that, with the default settings, if it takes 45 seconds to connect to the server then the connection
	   will succeed but the plugin will return CRITICAL because it took longer than 30 seconds.  Also known as: -t <seconds>

       --hostname <server>
	   Address or name of the IMAP server. Examples: mail.server.com, localhost, 192.168.1.100 Also known as: -H <server>

       --port <number>
	   Service port on the IMAP server. Default is 143. If you use SSL, default is 993.  Also known as: -p <number>

       --verbose
	   Display additional information. Useful for troubleshooting.

	   Also known as: -v

       --version
	   Display plugin version and exit.  Also known as: -V

       --help
	   Display this documentation and exit.  Also known as: -h

       --usage
	   Display a short usage instruction and exit.

EXAMPLES

   Print the server's SSL certificate chain
