RE: csr password

[Glen S Mehn]

Title: csr password

from openssl.org:

 

To remove the pass phrase on an RSA private key:

 openssl rsa -in key.pem -out keyout.pem

read the full openssl rsa man page here:
http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/rsa.html
note that it's the KEY that has a passphrase on it, not the csr. 
And you've gotta be super careful with the box, as anyone could use your passphrase...

Subject: csr password

I setup a secure server with a password on the csr that must be entered when apache starts up.  How can I remove this password so that apache can start without asking for it?

Do I need to generate a new key pair?  If I do, will that invalidate my current issued certificate?

Thanks,
