Sorry for the noise, but it is not as obvious as you seem to think. Sure, on a good day I should have been able to figure it out myself, but to state something that I think is obvious: very clear error messages save everybody a lot of time and aggro. "Unable to read pass phrase" doesn't contain a lot of interesting vocabulary, ie. certificate, SSL, how about a name and path for the certificate file that is barfing? Even *I* couldn't miss that on a bad day.
