http://localhost/manual/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslpassphrasedialog says,

Description: Type of pass phrase dialog for encrypted private keys

When Apache starts up it has to read the various Certificate (see
SSLCertificateFile) and Private Key (see SSLCertificateKeyFile) files
of the SSL-enabled virtual servers. Because for security reasons the
Private Key files are usually encrypted, mod_ssl needs to query the
administrator for a Pass Phrase in order to decrypt those files. This
query can be done in two ways which can be configured by type:

* builtin
* exec:/path/to/program

You probably need the second one.
