Openssl keeps prompting for a phrase during key generation
up vote

I am following the directions that are published on the Ubuntu site. First, it asks you to create a secure key, then it tells you to enter openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.insecure to create the insecure key.
My issue occurs during the creation of the insecure key, it is still insisting that I chose a pass phrase.
My very limited understanding is that I need an insecure key to work with apache2.
I took a look at the man page and I don't see the -in command line option documented. Is that the correct switch to generate an insecure key?
Also, should I be sudo when I create these keys?
Thanks in advance.

It was right there in the directions, I just didn't read far enough.
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr creates the file I need for apache2.
