You are mixing up two issues here (at least from how I understand what you described as your issue)..
Creating a vendor connection to an Oracle database is not done by installing your AREA or ARDBC plug-ins. This could be done with the Croom product that you have or any other plug-in or product specifically designed for that (For eg. The BMC Atrium Integration Engine or the AIE formally known as EIE or Enterprise Integration Engine). You CANNOT connect to Oracle using the default ARDBC plugin that gets installed with the AR System. The AREA plugin is specifically for authenticating to a LDAP source, and the ARDBC plugin is specifically to retrieve data from an LDAP source. So what are you trying to connect to using the ARDBC plugin?

The LDAP directory (MS, Novel)? I do not know too much details about the Croom plugin but from what I had heard OR from what I remember, it catered more to cross database connects. For eg you could connect to a SQL database from Oracle or a Oracle database from SQL. I do not think they could connect to active directories but then I may be wrong as I haven't used this product. If you want to connect to an LDAP directory, the built in AREA and ARDBC plugin should be more than enough and you do not need any other third party product in order to do that. You can view all the data in your LDAP directory using ARDBC after you correctly configure the same and build the necessary vendor forms.
