[Openvpn-users] specify the password for a script?

I saw the PKCS12 feature installed into OpenVPN a little while back and it does excite me, however there's another feature or ability that I'd like to make sure is there before I can start using this.
 
As far as I know there is no "-nodes" option when creating PKCS12 certificates and my PKI system requires a password for every cert it puts out.  Right now I've been setting it to "openvpn" and removing it when converting them to PEM format, but if I were to use the PKCS12-format certificates I would need some kind of --password option in OpenVPN so that I could specify it in the .conf file directly and allow a simulation of the -nodes option.
 
Is there a way to programmatically specify the password for a certificate when launching an OpenVPN process?
