I'm running an Apache server on
            Ubuntu. When I restart it, it asks me for a pass phrase; here's what the dialog looks
            like:
Apache/2.2.16 mod_ssl/2.2.16 (Pass Phrase
            Dialog)
Some of your private key files are encrypted for security
            reasons.
In order to read them you have to provide the pass
            phrases.
Server 127.0.0.1:443
            (RSA)
Enter pass phrase:
I've already
            worked out how to remove the pass phrase from the key file in question, but I can't find
            any information anywhere on how to determine which key file Apache is complaining about
            in the above dialog. I have dozens of key files on the server in question, although I
            don't know which ones are in active use (all I did is 'locate .pem' and ignore the false
            positives). Does anyone know how to track down which pem file I need to remove the
            passphrase from?
If you
            set up the server, you should know what keys are being used. Anyway, look out for
            SSLCertificateKeyFile directives. If not contained in the
            httpd.conf, they might hide in auxiliary files included with
            the Include directive.
