RE: How works the 'SSLPassPhraseDialog'

[Francisco Javier Mart�nez Mart�nez]

Hello.
Where and how I put the two arguments 'the first is of the form
``servername:portnumber'', the second is either ``RSA'' or ``DSA''', It is
not clear almost for me and I wonder that there must be some people more.
And as you saids this is a secure matter due that the private password could
be compromised, if you would please explain (with an example if possible)
how it works.
Thanks you in advance.
