start secure server with apache on reboot

lawrenzo_1 — Thu, 14 Jul 2005 18:02:58 GMT

Hello,

currently when our web console server is rebooted the secure shell service's do not start automatically, a key is required when the below command is run and the passowrd is not always know to the sys admin

# /opt/apache/bin/apachectl startssl

is there anyway that when the server reboots, apache starts with the secure apache and without a key being entered?

Thanks

Try using SSLPassPhraseDialog directive in your config file.

SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/path/to/program

See the following link for more information.

Hello Chris

Have you tried to regen a key using the command: ssh-keygen ? (use ssh-keygen -t dsa for ssh2. not sure if you use ssh1 or 2 there)

When asked for a "passphrase", dont enter one. Just press enter twice.

remember your key will be in a file called identity.pub. do a cd ~ssh and search from there.

hope this helps..
