RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Stephen Gallagher 2019-06-06 11:50:44 UTC
Description of problem:
sscg generates certificates to use in place of self-signed certificates for testing environments and automatic defaults (such as mod_ssl, tog_pegasus and cockpit). Currently, it only supports creating passwordless keyfiles, since most of the current users don't need it to be protected. However, FreeRADIUS will need a password (BZ #1672285) so we should add this functionality so we can migrate FreeRADIUS to using sscg like the other services in RHEL 8.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sscg-2.3.3-6.el8

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run `sscg` with any set of available arguments
2.
3.

Actual results:
Certificates and their keys are created, but the keyfiles cannot be created with a password.


Expected results:
There should be an option to provide the password either at the command-line or via standard input.
