I know that recent versions of Oracle can be used as an LDAP server. But I'm interested in whether an Oracle stored procedure can be used to access an LDAP server?

I noticed that there was some way to link user security and such to LDAP, but it's not clear if that will work with a generic LDAP server or just with Oracle.

Simply put we have a system that is using DB tables for authentication, and applications call a stored procedure to perform the authenication. We'd like to migrate the user/password information to a dedicated LDAP server that isn't Oracle, but we want the applications interface to not change (for the time being).

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanx!
