Chapter 9: Security
84
Note: If the Dominion SX is not used to generate the certificate signing
request and an external certificate is used instead, encryption needs to
be removed from the private key before installing it on the Dominion SX.
If this is the case, to remove the encryption from the key, a command
such as openssl rsa -in server.key -out server2.key and server2.key
should be used. Encrypted private keys are used to prevent the web
server from being started by unauthorized users. Since Dominion SX
does not allow users to access the web server directly, encrypted private
keys are not required and does not compromise security.
Note: When the Dominion SX is used to generate the certificate signing
request, the private key is not required since Dominion SX keeps the
private key exclusive.
