How do I configure Apache httpd to read the private key passphrase from a file?
Issue
- When I (re-)start httpd with SSL, the private key requires a passphrase and the service holds and waits for the user to input the passphrase. I don't want to remove the passphrase of the private key, how can I automate this?
- Is it possible to configure Apache to read the private key passphrase from a file?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- Apache httpd
