When the server restarts, it prompts for the PIN or password to unlock the key database. This is the same password used when the server certificate and key were imported into the database.

To restart the Directory Server without the password prompt, create a PIN file or use a hardware crypto device. See Section 4.3, “Creating a Password File for the Directory Server” for information on how to create a PIN file.

4.2.Enabling TLS/SSL in the Directory Server, Administration Server, and Console
