Hi, I sent a query last week about removing a passphrase from an Apache server I have set up with openssl-0.9.7d and compiled with the gcc compiler. I thought I'd provide a little more information. When I try to remove the passphrase, it says I need a minimum of 4 characters in the passphrase. Is this something in this version of openssl, as I don't remember having this requirement with earlier versions? I generated the key with
$openssl genrsa -des3 -rand randfile1:randfile2:randfile3 1024 > \ /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.key/server.key I made a copy of server.key to server.bak and then tried the following command to redo the passphrase and get the following: # /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl rsa -in server.bak -out server.key Enter pass phrase for server.bak: 21202:error:28069065:lib(40):UI_set_result:result too small:ui_lib.c:847:You must type in 4 to 4095 characters Is there a way around this?
