# ssl_password

Private key or password for private keys. This password can optionally be specified on the command line when `tibemsd` is started.

    ssl_password = password

If SSL is enabled, and the password is not specified with this parameter or on the command line, `tibemsd` will ask for the password upon startup.

You can set passwords by way of the `tibemsadmin` tool. When passwords are set with this tool, the password is obfuscated in the configuration file. See EMS Administration Tool for more information about using `tibemsadmin` to set passwords.

Note: Because connection factories do not contain the `ssl_password` (for security reasons), the EMS server uses the password that is provided in the "create connection" call for user authentication. If the create connection password is different from the `ssl_password`, the connection creation will fail.
