TLS with Encrypted Private Key

2013-08-04 Thread Yishen Miao
Hello world, I was configuring my postfix server for TLS support today and found out that Postfix does not support encrypted private key. I wonder is there any plan about adding such feature to postfix? Best, Yishen Miao (mys_721tx)

I'm trying to re-use my SSL certificate for Apache on postfix which is encrypted. It would be convent if postfix can support that. Also, an encrypted private key that is read-only for root sounds more secure than a plain one in the worse problem scenarios. :-p - Yishen On Aug 4, 2013, at 9:54
