OK. One always learn from reading :)
>To remove the pass phrase on an RSA private key:
>openssl rsa -in key.pem -out keyout.pem
I found this from the openssl manual page on option 'rsa'.
Sorry to have posted such a newbie question.

Subject: Removing password protection from private key
Do I have a mean to remove the password protection I have on the private key of my
server certificate ? I mean : provided I have the password (which is the case of
course), can I transform my private key so that it is no more protected by a password ?
I have problems with my certificate.
It is setup as to require a password.
When I enter it in the console when apache starts, apache seems to start (no errors
displayed), but apache does not work. The main server and all virtual ones are dead
and do no answer any client requests. No matter they are setup for SSL or not.
If I use the dummy 'server' certificate, everything works.
The difference : that one does not ask for a password on its private key.
So I would be *really* interested to test how it goes with my own certificate, if it
is unprotected. Maybe the bug is elsewhere after all. But without testing that, I'll
never know.
I'll try to find my way in the utilities of openssl to do it, but in between if one of
you had the trick, I'd be glad to know ! :)
Thank you very much,
