I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.

What I want to do, is to change the password which protects

the Certificate Authority which gets created during engine setup.

I thought this root CA Key is protected by a passphrase, which was

created during engine-setup.

Is this not the case?

As far as I understand your answer you are telling me there is
no password protecting the private key which secures the CA
and all programs which use it are just secured through
file permission ACLs?

Please correct me where I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance
