Re: rman connect (remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive)

I haven't tested this carefully, but the answer is almost certainly yes. In Backup and Recovery classes, all my students use RMAN on the last day of the course -and I'm 99.9% certain that we've changed the remote_login_passwordfile to NONE by then.

In fact, I'll stick my neck out and say that I'm 99.999% certain that they connect to the target as system/manager -which is using data dictionary authentication, and hence the passwordfile parameter setting is utterly irrelevant.

connect catalog rman/rman_at_catdb target system/manager_at_db1 ....seems fairly familiar to me.
