I can't find any support for this in WLS 5.1. Does 5.1 support this additional
level of security ?
Thanks.
Dave here.
I'm having some problems with the Weblogic SSL installation also. I
was able to set the weblogic.management.pkpassword, but I am recieving
the following error when attempting to start the server.

Please let me know if you know of any way to fix this issue.

1) you generated a protected private key rather than just a "regular" private key. In the Certificate Servlet this is done by typing characters into the password field of the form to generate the key and
then later passing those characters to the weblogic.management.pkpassword commandline attribute.
2) you set the KeyEncrypted attribute in the SSL page in the console
You can use protected/encrypted private keys or not but you need to make sure that you actually generated an encrypted private key and you've set SSL to use an encrypted private key and told the
server to start up with an encrypted private key.
