We generated new ssl key. This time it’s from Gigaone. I added it to site’s config file and after restart of nginx I have a message: “Starting nginx: Enter PEM pass phrase:”. Everything is fine, however I don’t want to fill my password after each restart of nginx. Time to do something with it.

What I did is:

copy server.key to /etc/ssl/gigaone/my_site.key on server
copy the certificate and paste it to /etc/ssl/gigaone/my_site.csr
add paths to my_site.key and my_site.csr to /etc/nginx/sites-available/my_site

and after restart of nginx I have above message.

So, to change it I have to do:

cd /etc/ssl/gigaone
cp my_site.key pass_my_site.key
openssl rsa -in pass_my_site.key -out pass_my_site.key

Now change my_site.key to pass_my_site.key in /etc/nginx/sites-available/my_site and restart nginx. Everything should be fine.
