Not an option, until name resolution starts working according to LDAP standard. I am not
installing another proprietary product which requires an expensive database license, just to
finance the takeover of PeopleSoft. I'd rather reroute the money to tsunami victims instead.

4) Hack Oracle's JAR files and use OpenLDAP for resolution. It's not too difficult. Maybe you can even download already hacked ones from the internet, but I don't know where from. The OiD pushing is a highway robbery and I will never advise management to invest money in it.
