O/S authentication

If you want to connect to a target database using O/S authentication, use the following command:

$ rman target / nocatalog

Recovery Manager: Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production
connected to target database: BRDSTN (DBID=664610428)
using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog

You can use O/S authentication only from an O/S account on the database server.

Note

With Oracle 8.0.x and Oracle8i, you must specify nocatalog on the command line to connect without using a catalog. With Oracle9i, nocatalog is the default connection mode.
