To start an SSL-enabled server automatically

If security risks are not a concern for you, follow these steps to start your SSL-enabled server automatically:

1. Make sure SSL is activated.

2. Create a new password.conf file in the config subdirectory of the server instance.

   • If you are using the internal PKCS#11 software encryption module that is provided with the server, enter the following information:

     internal:your_password

     • If you are using a different PKCS#11 module (for hardware encryption or hardware accelerators), specify the name of the PKCS#11 module, followed by the password. For example:

       nFast:your_password

3. Stop and restart your server for the new setting to take effect.

   You will always be prompted to supply a password when starting the web server, even after the password.conf file has been created.
