Syntax

SSLPVTKEYPASS="password"

"password": specifies the password that SSL requires in order to decrypt the private key. The private key is stored in the file that is specified by using the SSLPVTKEYLOC= option.

The SSLPVTKEYPASS= option is required only when the private key is encrypted. OpenSSL performs key encryption.

Note: No SAS system option is available to encrypt private keys. [cautionend]
