The openssl command will always prompt you for a password. The trick is
to *remove* the password afterward by passing the cert through openssl
again. I believe the command is like this:
openssl rsa -in server.crt -out server-nopasswd.crt
I'm working from memory here, so check this page (or Google for a
similar page) for details:

Kind regards,

With the versions I've used, it won't accept an empty passphrase on cert
creation, but will let you remove it later.

Just by curiosity : you cannot just enter <CR> for the pass-phrase I
guess, or ?
