It's not really clear how such "automatic password entering" is 
different from no password on key file at all.  If you have an 
explanation - please let us know.

To remove password from your key file use something like this:

# openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.nopasswd

It's also a good idea to make sure only root can read resulting 
key file, e.g. by

# chmod 400 server.key.nopasswd
