Running RMAN backups from grid control but using oracle account with rsa keys vs a password ?

I'm a sysadmin trying to help out one of our DBA's setup the RMAN backups (Oracle 11g on rhel5 ) so they can schedule and control them from the OEM grid control. But we want the oracle user to use ssh keys instead of a password. I have the working rsa keys in place for the user but the GUI seems to require a password and all tests fail if we do not specify a password. I've looked around and been unsuccessful finding anything to resolve this so far. Is this something that can be done or does the software require a password ?


Thanks for your help.

GRID-CA-SIGN(1) 						  Globus Commands						   GRID-CA-SIGN(1)

NAME
grid-ca-sign - Sign a certificate with a SimpleCA for use on a grid SYNOPSIS
grid-ca-sign [-help] [-h] [-usage] [-version] [-versions] grid-ca-sign -in REQUEST -out CERTIFICATE [-force] [-dir DIRECTORY] [-openssl-help] [OPENSSL-OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
The grid-ca-sign program signs a certificate based on a request file with a CA certificate created by grid-ca-create. The new certificate is written to a file. If the CA has already signed a certificate with the same subject name as contained in the certificate request, it will refuse to sign the new request unless the -force option is provided on the command-line. If run as a privileged user, grid-ca-sign uses the CA certificate and configuration located in ${localstatedir}/lib/globus/simple_ca to sign the certificate. For a non-privileged user, grid-ca-sign uses the CA certificate and configuration located in $HOME/.globus/simpleCA. The grid-ca-sign program an use a different CA configuration and certificate by using the -dir option. The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-sign follows. In addition to these, unknown options will be passed to the openssl command when creating the self-signed certificate. -help, -h, -usage Display the command-line options to grid-ca-sign and exit. -version, -versions Display the version number of the grid-ca-sign command. The second form includes details about the package containing grid-ca-sign. -in REQUEST Sign the request contained in the REQUEST file. -out CERTIFICATE Write the signed request to the CERTIFICATE file. -force Revoke any previously issued certificate with the same subject name as in the certificate request and issue a new certificate. Otherwise, grid-ca-sign will refuse to sign the request. -dir DIRECTORY Sign the certificate using the Simple CA certificate and configuration located in DIRECTORY instead of the default. -openssl-help Print the command-line options available for the openssl ca command. EXAMPLES
Sign a certificate request using the simple CA in $HOME/SimpleCA % grid-ca-sign -in usercert_request.pem -out usercert.pem -dir $HOME/SimpleCA To sign the request please enter the password for the CA key: The new signed certificate is at: /home/juser/.globus/simpleCA/newcerts/01.pem ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
