Summary: openssl error

Initial Comment:
I am configuring openssl (using nsopenssl module) for
AOL Server 3.4 and am reciving errors pertaining to the
keyfile. The openssl configuration has worked with test
download certs from thawte, but is not working with
the "official" cert. When attempting to start AOL Server,
I am reciving an error stating that "the keyfile is
readable, make sure it is not passphrase-protected." I
have also tested the cert-key pair with a standard ssl
configuration and it works, which leads me to believe
that the cert-key pair is valid. Any ideas?

Umesh,

Have you solved your issue?  What was it?

If your key is passphrase-protected, you can use this to strip
it off:

openssl rsa -in key1.pem -out key2.pem

Umesh, you probably need to stip the passphrase out of your
keyfile,
so it will work with AOLserver.  See my comment in this
BBoard thread:

http://openacs.org/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0002jX

Or, here's an example: To generate a self-signed cert.
(which you
don't need to do, of course) and then strip out the
passphrase, I did:

  $ /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -keyout
key+pass.pem -out certfile.pem -days 3650
  $ /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl rsa -in key+pass.pem -out
keyfile.pem
