Discussion

Oracle Node Manager is the utility that is used to perform common operational tasks for OHS. The "CustomIdentityPrivateKeyPassPhrase" is the password that protects the private key when creating certificates. If a password is not used, the private key is not protected and can be used by any user or attacker that can get access to the private key.
