Thump up ;-)

https://startpage.com/do/search?q=named+pipe+can+also+be+used+instead+of+a+file

Just an idea:

Create a Pipe
Point the ssl_password_file to this pipe
Until there is something to read from the pipe the process will wait for 
data.
There are milliard of ways to write something into this pipe, imho.

This idea is untested but maybe worth to test ;-)
