--- Comment #1 from Joe Orton <jo...@redhat.com> ---
I'm not sure what "password encryption is stored in plaintext" means.

With mod_ssl you can do any of:

a) use a plaintext-on-disk key file
b) use an encrypted-on-disk key file which is unencrypted in memory using a
passphrase supplied at startup
c) use a PKCS#11 module which encapsulates the key (e.g. in hardware)
