When installing secure webmail, I get a "SSL initialization error: couldn't find private key (-

I am having a problem implementing secure web mail over the secure sockets

layer(SSL) with Messaging Server. I installed my certificate and

enabled SSL. However, when I start the server, the HTTP server

appears to start but does not respond on the port. Checking the

HTTP log files reveals the following two errors:

<P>

[02/Jan/2001:14:28:34 +1100] fts httpd[9789]: General Error: SSL

initialization error: couldn't find private key (-8177)

[02/Jan/2001:14:28:34 +1100] fts httpd[9789]: General Error: SSL

initialization failed

The error code

"-8177" means

"BAD_PASSWORD." To fix this problem, put the correct key pair

password for your certificate in the following file:

<P>

<I>ServerRoot</I>/msg-<I>instance</I>/confg/sslpassword .conf

<P>

For more information, please see the Messaging Server Administrator's Guide,

"Creating a Password File" section, at

The file sslpassword.conf has a default line with these format:

moduleName: password

You must have an entry like this:

Internal (Software) Token:netscape!

You need to change the default password netscape! by that you define when you create your local key database (when you generate your certificate request)

Changing these the SSL port 443 will start to respond when you reinitialize your HTTP service.
