In every piece of online documentaion I see the first step to duplicating
a DB with RMAN says that you must use the orapwd utility to create
a password file.
Ie:

While following each step in the arcticle above except creating the
orapwd file I was successful in creating the AUX DB.
Can somebody please explain why I would need the orapwd file? I am
obvisously missing something but not sure what.
Maybe you can provide an example as it pertains to the above mentioned article and show between what steps it would be accessed.
Thanks
