RE: wget and PEM pass phrase: a clarification

Title: Message

I can't answer your question as such, but I know the "ssh-keygen" command will allow you to create a key pair with a null passphrase.  There is also a means with the openssl commands to do the same thing, but I lost my bookmark to the webpage where I found out how to do that.  A google search might show up something useful there.

Aloha.  Is there a way to embed the PEM pass phrase for a client certificate in a script using wget.  Wget has options for client certificates, but I have not seen options for specifying the pass phrase.  I tried to generate a pem certificate without a pass phrase but openssl does not allow that.  We have users who need to use wget to retrieve files using HTTPS and PKI (client certificates) via crons.  I do not see how it will work if they need to enter the PEM pass phrase at the command line.  We are running wget 1.8.2.

thanks,
