TLS/SSL possible startup bug in slapd



Hello all,

When TLSCertificateKeyFile is defined in slapd.conf, and that file points to an encrypted key, I am prompted for a PEM password regardless of whether I am trying to start slapd with TLS/SSL support enabled (slapd -h "ldap:///"; or just plain slapd).  Is this intended?  After entering the password, it starts, just as it should, _without_ TLS/SSL support.

What I have done in the mean time is cook up a small perl script that comments the three TLS entries before trying to start slapd without TLS/SSL support.  But this seems suboptimal.  Does anyone see this as an issue worth addressing?

Thanks,
Monty
