Comment #1 by ste...@konink.de:
Allow a commandline option that does not start the SSL part of the site if
an admin
is not available. Or better; just start Cherokee and allow the user to
enter the
passphrase later.

Yeah, I vote for requiring the passphrase as stdin input on initialization.

You understand in that respect cherokee-admin cannot start/restart the
server again?

Oops! I didn't think of that.
Yeah, reading stdin would be definitely be a problem in that case.

Comment #5 by ste...@konink.de:
I don't think it is typically safe to use the admin itself as tool to enter
the
password. Seeding with MD5 could work, but I don't know if this is
supported by
OpenSSL. Anyway on short term; SSL should definitely not block the
operation (imho).

(next to this I wonder what happens if you have configured a server with
multiple
certificates)

I think the best way would be that the user is informed there is a
passphrase on a certificate, and the server can't be started because of
that (from the admin).
