Nginx ssl

Server NGINX
1

hi i would like to get nginx to start automatically
if the server should crash. i am using ssl and ever
time i start nginx it askes me for my passphrase.

is there a way to set this so it doesn’t ask
so that it can start unattended.

thanks

chris

You should remove password from certificate key.
I do not know easy and safe way to hide password. mod_ssl’s
SSLPassPhraseDialog (
mod_ssl: Reference )
is not this way.

I ran across this problem recently and had to remove the passphrase for
the exact same reason. I found a useful link:
