I believe current implementation of ssh doesn't allow to pass the password through a switch or automatically. It's for security reasons. You really should use keys.
However, if you for some crazy reason dont want to, I see 2 options:
1. use 'expect' to create the script. While the script si running, anybody can see the password by looking at the running process (e.g. 'ps aux | grep yourScript ')
2. Hack the openssh code.

monitor
MONITOR(8) System Manager's Manual MONITOR(8)
NAME
monitor - Directory Server script for monitoring database performance
SYNOPSIS
monitor [ -Z serverID ] [ -D rootdn ] [ -w password ] [ -b basedn ] [-P protocol] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
Retrieves performance monitoring information. To run this script, the server must be running.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below:
-Z Server Identifier
The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
-D Root DN
The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the script will search the server instance configuration for the value.
-w password
The rootdn password.
-b basedn
The DN of a backend from cn=config.
-P Protocol
The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server. Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option is
skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used. For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.
-h
Display the usage.
EXAMPLE
monitor -P STARTTLS
Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS. If STARTTLS is not available it will default to next strongest/available
protocol automatically.
monitor -Z instance2 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -b 'cn=monitor,cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config'
Note: You only need to bind as the root DN if you want to look at a backend monitor.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
