Fedora directory users - Jan 2007 - SSL Certs without password

Hello,
I know how to generate certs with passwords, but this results in 
password prompt at server startup and reboot. Is there a way to generate 
SSL certificate without password?

Actually, a password isn''t required by NSS. To change an existing 
database to a NULL password use the modutil command. Its syntax is 
slightly different from the other NSS utilities but it has a decent help 
output if you don''t get it quite right.

To change an existing database to be a blank password:

% modutil -dbdir /opt/fedora-ds/alias -dbprefix slapd-foo- -changepw 
"NSS Certificate DB"

Enter the old password then press Enter twice for the new password to 
blank it out.

To generate a new database with a blank password with certutil do 
something like:

% certutil -N -d /opt/fedora-ds/alias -P slapd-foo-

Press Enter twice.

This is what I need and it works perfectly, thanks :)
