There's info about this in the apache docs about this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html#removepassphrase It comes down to three options: use a private key without a passphrase, store your passphrase on disk, or manually enter your passphrase when needed. Obviously the first two are security risks, but if you have strong root protection and make them only readable by root, then it may be an option. One way to look at it is that if there is a passphrase, it needs to be stored somewhere and communicated to the server. That means either in a file, or in your head. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://pgp.mit.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
