The cert and key in /etc/pki/tls seem to work perfectly well.
My impression is that this is the standard place 
for CentOS and Fedora certs.
IIRC, installation guides for both suggest this for certs and keys.

Most Fedora applications that require authentication
also seem to refer to this folder.

My question is simply: Does one require a separate cert for dovecot?
