Secure External Password Store for RMAN
The draft version of this blog post is lying around for some time in my inbox. I’ve never found time to finish it. But due to a task in a project it’s about time to finish my notes on Oracle’s Secure External Password Store. Ludovico, a work colleague has already written a blog post about Removing passwords from Oracle scripts earlier this year. I would like to complement the topic and discuss a few points specifically in connection with RMAN Backup’s and a central RMAN catalog. The goal remains the same, getting rid of passwords with a minimal operational effort.
