RE: Oracle and Novell eDirectory LDAP

Stephane - Last week the following message was posted. While it relates to MS AD, rather than Novell, the principles are the same and after all LDAP is a standard -- right? ;-) So you may want to scan the archives for this thread. Several people have expressed interest in this topic, and it seems doable, but nobody has posted a success story. From my meager understanding of LDAP, I think you will have to install and run Oracle Internet Directory, at least to get started, then export an LDIF from OID and import it into eDirectory. Depending on how you intend to use LDAP, you may have to continue to synchronize the two.

Embarrassed by Google/OTN, after stating I had not had time to verify what version integrates with AD, I spent 10 mins on Google and OTN (Oracle Technology Network) and hey presto :-

"With Oracle9i Application Server 9.0.4, Oracle will offer prepackaged connectivity solutions for NT Domains and ADS. These solutions will allow Oracle customers to perform two-way synchronization of directory data between the Windows and Oracle environments."

Therefore the answer is any version prior to Oracle 9i Application Server 9.0.4 does not have out-of-the-box integration with Active Directory.

Hi,

We are in the preliminary analysis of implementing an assurance package (Sunguard's Compass) based on Oracle (Oracle 9.2.04, Oracle 9iAS Web Services and Forms on AIX 5.2).

We are using Novell eDirectory as our LDAP.

I looked on Metalink but did not find much thing. The way I understand it is that you must load the LDAP info into Oracle Internet Directory.

Am I right ?

Anybody using Novell eDirectory integrated with Oracle ?
