NB:  you trade the ease of startup with a security risk, in that your 
keyphrase
is stored in a file cleartext.

> I hit a snag yesterday when I rebooted my directory server box

> means that every time I restart the directory server I have to provide
> the password for the certificate database. Now, I *know* that this
> would never stand in a large production environment, so I can only
> imagine that I missed some essential piece of documentation on how I
> can use SSL/TLS, but not be forced to provide a password every time
> the server starts.

> Could someone provide a link to the doc that addresses this, or does
> someone have some clue they could provide for my feeble brain?

> Thanks.
