Don't prompt for SSL Pass Phrase

[Jon D. Slater]

I remotely administer a machine with an SSL private certification key.

Occasionally I need to reboot the machine remotely.

During the boot process (at the machines location) I get:

     Server www.blahblahblah.com:443 (RSA)
     Enter pass phrase:

And it waits forever.

Currently I've disable httpd at boot, and start the service manually, 
through ssh after a reboot.

Am I missing a more automated solution?
