I was
wondering if it's possible to use the directory servers to authenticate
Oracle database users against? I know that Oracle has an application
called Oracle Internet Directory server, however I would rather not put
up yet another directory server. Any thoughts? Thanks very much.
Do you want to authenticate users to LDAP using their Oracle
credentials? Maybe there is an odbc SASL data source? Then it might be
possible to configure the DS SASL to use it. Can PAM be configured to
auth against a database? If so, then you could use the PAM passthrough
plugin. Otherwise, this sounds like a job for a BIND pre-op plugin.
Or do you want to authenticate users to Oracle apps using their LDAP
credentials? I don't know how LDAP aware Oracle apps are, but in most
cases I've seen this involves some sort of sync process by which
passwords and other data are synchronized between Oracle and LDAP.
