Listener passphrase is configured, but the region still prompts for the passphrase each time it starts

Problem:

An application uses TN3270 listeners secured with SSL, and the passphrase has been specified in the mf-server.dat file as explained in the documentation, but the region still prompts for the passphrase each time it starts.  The specification in mf-server.dat is supposed to work automatically so the prompt does not appear at each region start.  The entry in mf-server.dat, based on the documentation, is currently:

[HTTPS Echo/SSL/passphrases]

certificate=

keyfile=mftnsslkeypair

Resolution:

The tag in square brackets in mf-server.dat should specify the name of your listener.
 
If your listener is named TN3270, the tag in mf-server.dat should be:
 
[TN3270/SSL/passphrases]
 
If your listener is named FRED, the tag in mf-server.dat should be:
 
[FRED/SSL/passphrases]
