Its probably because the signing key is encrypted with a symmetric
cipher? You're using the "-sign" option and that private key
private.txt is probably encrypted, find out with what and then you can
use some other openssl function to read in the file and then output it,
except output it without the encryption that requires the password.

Hi,
I'm trying to sign a file without password prompting (under Windows)
openssl md5 -sign private.txt signature.txt > signed.dat
(Enter password .....)
Then I tried this:
openssl md5 -passin pass:test -sign private.txt Signature.txt >
signed.dat
.. and this:
echo -n test | openssl md5 -sign private.txt Signature.txt > signed.dat
but still a password input prompts.
Mhmmmm - any ideas??
With best regards - Ronald.
