    server will prompt for the passphrase and will not start until it has
    been entered.

-   configuration without a server restart.
+   Using a passphrase by default disables the ability to change the server's
+   SSL configuration without a server restart, but see <xref

    Furthermore, passphrase-protected private keys cannot be used at all
    on Windows.
