Indeed this is way out of scope for this list but the right thing to do is to set up SSH IdentityFiles. "man ssh_config" and read about IdentityFile directive and also man ssh-keygen. For more information a quick google search will pop up millions of easy tutorials.
If your problem is that you have many servers and need to set up the IdentityFiles to begin with, you can use an expect loop for that. Google again will take care of you there. Finally, if you have many machines you may want to look into true configuration management solutions like Puppet/Chef.
