Limitations of Directory Naming Support with Microsoft Active Directory

In addition to Oracle Internet Directory, directory naming support is also provided with Microsoft Active Directory <http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14212/gl ossary.htm#i1001504> . Note the following limitations:

• Oracle provides support for Microsoft Active Directory only on Windows operating systems. Therefore, client computers and the database server must also run on Windows operating systems to access or create entries in Microsoft Active Directory.
• The following features are not supported by Microsoft Active Directory:
  • Multiple Oracle Contexts

                Microsoft Active Directory can support only one Oracle Context.

• Net service aliases

                You cannot create net service aliases in Microsoft Active Directory. However, you can create net service names.

• Automatic client discovery of directory servers for clients

                You must statically configure directory server usage on the clients. The Oracle Internet Directory Configuration will not provide directory server usage for Microsoft Active Directory. You must use Oracle Net Configuration Assistant

Directory Naming Software Requirements

For client computers from which you want to manage Oracle Database enterprise users, roles and domains, you must have Oracle8i Client release 8.1.6 or later and one of the following Microsoft products:

• Windows XP
• Windows 2000
• Windows Server 2003

For the database, you must have Oracle8i Database release 8.1.6 or later. This is required for registering the database service as an object in Active Directory. The database can use any of the following Microsoft products:

• Windows 2000
• Windows Server 2003

Both the client computers and the database must be members of a Windows 2000 domain.

        Mladen,         

        You could use OpenLDAP on Linux, but 'small' problem is that Oracle OID .ldif-Format is different from the OpenLDAP format...so, you need to 'change' it a bit - a lot of fun guaranteed :-)

        The disadvantage of Microsoft AD is that client computers and the database server must run on windows OS.  

Where do you get that last bit of information from? I'm pretty certain that it's incorrect.
