Description

When the server is restarted our SSL configuration for the OPAC fails. The SSL certificate is requesting a passphrase.

Resolution

There are two ways to stop apache from asking a passphrase on restart. 

1. Create a new certificate file from the existing one, without a passphrase: 
openssl rsa -in key.pem -out newkey.pem 

2. Create a script that will enter it by adding the following to httpd.conf: 
SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/path/to/passphrase-file 

in the passphrase-file please insert: 
#!/bin/sh 
echo "passphrase"
