getsslpassphrase(8) BSD System Manager's Manual getsslpassphrase(8)
NAME
getsslpassphrase
SYNOPSIS
getsslpassphrase vhost:port algorithm
DESCRIPTION
Used by Apache to extract pass phrases for certificates for SSL-enabled
virtual hosts. See the documentation of Apache's SSLPassPhraseDialog
directive for detail. The port and algorithm arguments are required, as
they are part of the SSLPassPhraseDialog protocol, but are ignored.
The Server Admin Certificates panel manages certificate pass phrases in
the system keychain. The getsslpassphrase tool attempts to extract the
pass phrase for the specified virtual host from the system keychain. If
it is not found there, the tool tries to find a pass phrase that may have
been created with Panther Server, by checking servermgr_web_httpd_con-
fig.plist.
For certificate pass phrases in the system keychain, the tool will first
try a specific match, and then look for wild card certificates. Wild card
certificates of the following form are supported:
*.example.com, *.*.example.com, *.*.*.example.com, *.*.sub1.exampl.com,
and *.sub2.sub1.example.com.
