I got little response on the user list, so: I am using httpd 2.4.7 built from source (On Debian Linux 7, 32-bit). OpenSSL is a Debian package with version 1.0.1e.
The pertinent part of my httpd.conf is: SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key.file SSLPassPhraseDialog |/path/to/passphrase.sh $ cat passphrase.sh #!/bin/bash echo averylongandrandompassord But that doesn't work. But when I use a decrypted key like so: SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key.file.unsecure #SSLPassPhraseDialog |/path/to/passphrase.sh all works well. So the question is: (1) is my passphrase.sh script in the proper format or (2) is something else wrong (e.g., a bug)? I have my log level up to debug and can't see any clue that helps me. Later... I changed to the exec: method and it works fine, but it still begs the question of the apparently-not-working pipe method. Later... I just looked at the docs again and wonder if the fact I have two SSL vhosts may be the problem (but I have all the SSL cert directives at the main server level). Still, repetitive queries from Apache ought to give the same (and correct) response, no? Thanks and best regards, -Tom
