ssl apache password

hi m8,

You probably used the -des3 switch when creating the request. You can either
re-create your certificate or use SSLPassPhraseDialog to use an external
program to supply the password. I'm on win32 but the principle should be
the same.

ie, in my httpd.conf file I have

SSLPassPhraseDialog
exec:D:/hosted/htdocs/ssl.www.di..............uk.com/certs/apachestart.exe

And the ApacheStart program is simply a diddy program which writes the
password on stdout. In Delphi, this looks like

program apachestart;

uses
Forms;

{$R *.res}

begin
Application.Initialize;
Writeln('<----Your Password here---->');
Application.Terminate;
end.

--Mark.

Or, you could try this. It's what FreeSSL suggested so if it works, credit
to them.

--Mark.

You can remove the passphrase from the private key as follows:

First make a copy of the encrypted key:

# cp server.key server.key.cryp

Then re-write the key with encryption. You will be prompted for the original
encrypted Key passphrase

# /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl rsa -in server.key.cryp -out server.key

This will remove the passphrase from your key.

Hope this helps - let me know where you currently are.

I hope you can help me, I am looking for the commands to create keys for my
different
SSL sites, - someone made the main key for me but what is the command to
create a valid server key (ie private key rather than one from someone like
Verisign) .

Say I wanted a key for server <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.thisismysite.com" target="_blank">www.thisismysite.com</a>
