Hi Well I have partially answered my own question. I see in the Net8 manual that it can use an LDAP server to replace Oracle Names and lookup connect strings for service names. However I am still not sure if Oracle8i can authenticate a username and password in an LDAP. If it can, does anyone know how it queries the LDAP.
What I really want to know is whether Oracle has any specific requirements that an LDAP server would need to be able to handle. This will help us choose an Oracle compatible LDAP. I have found a chart indicating that OID is included with Oracle9iAS EE. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 4:02 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Does Oracle8i come with any built in LDAP functions or do you have to write your own functions to search and update an LDAP directory? Does the Oracle Internet Directory come with Oracle8i or is purchased separately? Thanks.
