Hi, 

When I tried to start Apache(v2.4.3) with FIPS enabled OpenSSL v1.0.1c on RHEL 
v6.3, I was prompted for the pass phrase which is normal. After I typed in 
correct pass phrase, I got a message:

Apache: mod_ssl:Error: Pass phrase incorrect (5 more retries permitted).

When I ctrl-c to exist, I got another message:

Apache:mod_ssl:Error: Private key not found.

Which is not correct since the private key is there. The key and certificate 
was generated by older version of FIPS disabled OpenSSL. I copied the key and 
certificate from older version of web server for the new version web server to 
use. Once I disabled FIPS in the Apache configuration file, I typed in the same 
pass phrase and I can start httpd v2.4.3. Is this something from Apache or 
OpenSSL side for the wrong pass phrase prompt? What else do I need to do or 
check? Thanks.
