RE: Oracle8i and LDAP

Hello All

We are now in the process of adding LDAP to oracle 8.1.6. I had a talk just yesterday with a guy that works on LDAP. he said: "NT LDAP has problems. Better go with OID or Novell LDAP".

1. For your knowledge.
2. Can anybody share their own experience on the subject.

Thanks
