Hi I've read this of course, http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslpassphrasedialog but I still think it's likely has to be easier than this - is there really not a builtin prompt for w32? even if apache is started from the command line and not as a service? I know I can write a small minimum line program to "exec" and ask for the passphrase from stdin - but really, I doubt I'm the first person to ask this for the win32 platform... thanks b __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
