using rman scripts without oracle password

I'm just learning how to use the netbackup agent for Oracle with rman scripts, and I can successfully backup the database. The problem is that to do this, I have to explicitly include the oracle user name and password in the rman script. Does anyone know of a way to run the backup using an encrypted password in the script?  We are running netbackup 6.5.3.1 on linux, with oracle 11g.

    It's possible.

    However, it's not a NBU task, but Oracle one.

    Check this Oracle feature:

    Hi, I have rman script that use to backup the oracle online with oracle agent. I just commented on the part of UN and PW by placing #. You can try to eliminate. Symantec support help me to develop that script you can raise a case for that I think.
