You don't really need a password on server certs. Servers should boot up w/out needing someone to enter a password (imho, in most situations). If there's no pass phrase associated with the certificate, there's no need for "operator intervention". Do be sure that keys/certs with no pass phrase are properly secured though (chmod 600 with appropriate ownership). -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

I think Jim's talking about the server side key/certificate. The certificate that you have configured apparently has a password associated with it. Is this a self signed cert, or one you purchased? You might be able to remove the pass phrase from the cert/key using the openssl command. See the http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Certificate page. That page could use a little rework though. You can use the servercert.pem file that QMT uses (in /var/qmail/control) for apache as well. Users will probably get a warning message about the cert not being trusted, but it will still work if/when they accept the cert. -- -Eric 'shubes' On 02/03/2011 06:49 AM, Tonix (Antonio Nati) wrote: Are you using https for any of these web services?
