RE: impossible restart apache2 in mod_ssl with 2 pass phrases

Hi,

why not strip the passphrase from the keys and then protect the keys from prying eyes. e.g:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html#removepassphrase

Then you will never be prompted for the passphrase on startup.

its no less secure than calling a password from a script.

Subject:  impossible restart apache2 in mod_ssl with 2 pass
phrases


Hello everbody,

Environnement: Linux Fedora core 3, Apache/2.2.0

I wanna to restart everyday a apache2 server using a script. The crond
should start the srcipt.

The problem is that I have a pass phrase to secure each certificat.
And I have more that two domains using differents certificats so using
differents pass phrases to start properly. How can I do that?

Indication: I have writen a shell script to restart the httpd server
but for one certificat not for two. I used :
SSLPassPhraseDialog  exec:/usr/local/apache2/bin/passPhrase.sh

And passPhrase script is very simple, it's a stdout of the passphrase.

Thank you in advance.
Karim
