The previous statement that using a passphrase disables the ability to
change the server's SSL configuration without a server restart was no
longer completely true since the introduction of
ssl_passphrase_command_supports_reload.

If the private key is protected with a passphrase, the
server will prompt for the passphrase and will not start until it has
been entered.
Using a passphrase also disables the ability to change the server's SSL
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
linkend="guc-ssl-passphrase-command-supports-reload"/>.
Furthermore, passphrase-protected private keys cannot be used at all
on Windows.
