Re: RE: Oracle / AD Questions

We aren’t running Oracle on Azure.  Our sys admin is saying we can only use Kerberos on Linux.

We use Radius, to authenticate human database users. Very easy to deploy and has worked well over a decade

But will soon move to Azure AD Oauth authentication, to remove the need for creating users and managing their privileges.

We are looking at connecting our Oracle databases to AD so we can centralize user creation and administration.  All of our Oracle databases run on Linux.  Our Linux sys admins say that they don’t support AD on Linux.  Is it still possible to connect to AD without having AD installed in the Linux environment? 

 

Oracle 19c

Red Hat 8
