<h4><a name="gets_sslpassphrase_by_file_instead_of_prompt_for">gets SSLPassPhrase by file instead of prompt for</a></h4> |
| 137 |
<pre> |
| 138 |
Every start of apache require to enter the password for the above generated SSL key. |
| 139 |
This can be annoying if you plan some automatic restart of apache. |
| 140 |
There is a way to automatically give the password to apache with the option:</pre> |
| 141 |
<pre> |
| 142 |
SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/path/to/your_password_programm</pre> |
| 143 |
<pre> |
| 144 |
But it's upt to you to write the password programm, be careful!! |
| 145 |
Some times, it is easier to simply protect a non protected file, than writing a programm that gives a password!! |
| 146 |
Easiest way would be e.g. |
| 147 |
|
| 148 |
#-----------your_password_programm --------- |
| 149 |
#!/bin/sh |
| 150 |
echo <your passphrase> |
| 151 |
#------------------ end snip ----------------------</pre> |
| 152 |
<pre> |
| 153 |
chmod 700 /path/to/your_password_programm |
| 154 |
chown www-data.www-data /path/to/your_password_programm</pre> |
| 155 |
<pre> |
| 156 |
But again, this would be very unsecure!!!</pre> |
