Henry,
I've been looking into something similar at a client. I think you want to
look at external authentication. This will use your OS authentication,
which in turn uses AD. The problem is that OS authentication is not very
secure when using PC clients, so we are using Kerberos as well, which does
make it secure. In order to use Kerberos, you'll need the Advanced Security
Option. I think you'll also need to upgrade your NT's to W2K, as W2K uses
Kerberos by default.
I don't know what the Enterprise Login Asst. is, I assume it assists you in
creating Enterpise Users. Enterpise Users allow you to create a user once
and have it shared by multiple instances, and only works if you have
external authentication. Haven't tried that yet, but it's on the list.
OID is Oracle's version of AD. We're not using it here - using MS AD
instead.
HTH,
Gary

We have several databases spread out over Unix and NT Servers.
I have been given the task to find out what it will take for our users to
log in to the databases with their AD Id/password. Has anybody out there
done this?
Here are some questions I have:
1) Do I need to have Advanced Security Option?
2) Does Enterprise Login Asst. factor into this?
3) Does Oracle internet directory factor into this?
