Once installed mod_ssl I've created a sample ssl certification for my local workstation, https works quite well and everything is ok, well nearly everything :) When I restart the apache by hand or it comes up through Debian's init.d script it requires that I provide the daemon with the pass phrase because some of my private key files are encripted. How can I avoid this ? I mean let me assume I need to restart my box from a remote connection, when the init.d script is going to start apache I must be fisically there to provide the daemon with my pass phrase, that's not always possible. Should I keep my key files unencrypted, or is there another solution which preserves security ? Thanks for any help !
