PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.

OpenSSL's default behavior when loading a passphrase-protected key file is to open /dev/tty and demand the password from there. It was kinda sorta okay to allow that to happen at server start, but really that was never workable in standard daemon environments. And it was a complete fail on Windows, where the same thing would happen at every backend launch. Yesterday's commit de41869b put the final nail in the coffin by causing that to happen at every SIGHUP; even if you've still got a terminal acting as the server's TTY, having the postmaster freeze until you enter the passphrase again isn't acceptable. Hence, override the default behavior with a callback that returns an empty string, ensuring failure. Change the documentation to say that you can't have a passphrase-protected server key, period. If we can think of a production-grade way of collecting a passphrase from somewhere, we might do that once at server startup and use this callback to feed it to OpenSSL, but it's far from clear that anyone cares enough to invest that much work in the feature. The lack of complaints about the existing fractionally-baked behavior suggests nobody's using it anyway. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/29982.1483412575@sss.pgh.pa.us
