If I understand your description correctly, that is how TDE is deigned to work. TDE is meant to protect on-disk data, in the database, transaction logs, and backup files. When you start a database server or a single-user session, you (the dba) are asked for the passphrase. Once the server has successfully authenticated against the keystore file, it makes the database available for use by clients. Clients do not have to supply the passphrase to connect to the database, only their database user credentials. In automatic mode (less secure, but more practical for some), the server opens the keystore by itself, without asking for a passphrase.
