Hi,
I believe the only non-alphanumeric characters you can enter for an SSL key passphrase are:
period, asterisk, forward slash, dash, colon, underscore, question mark, equals, at sign, comma, ampersand and space (.*/-:_?=@,& )
If you want to keep a passphrase on the SSL key, you can remove it and add a new one that complies with this list of characters:
http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/rsa.html
Change the existing passphrase from a key, my_encrypted.key
openssl rsa -des3 -in /config/ssl/ssl.key/original_encrypted.key -out /config/ssl/ssl.key/updated_encrypted.key
