I have been studying some of these issues, but haven't implemented
anything yet, so I sincerely hope you get some good responses. I hadn't
heard of NDS before, so if you can explain that a little, you may get more
assistance.
LDAP as you know is an industry standard.
OID supports LDAP, as do other vendor offerings, like Microsoft
ActiveDirectory.
I think a number of people have implemented LDAP using OID.
Today, if you choose to use another LDAP, you probably have to also
implement OID and figure out how to keep the two LDAPs synchronized. In
theory this is possible, but I haven't heard from anyone who has implemented
this.
My guess is that as LDAP systems mature, standardization and interaction
will mature as well. Eventually Oracle will have to satisfy customers who
have chosen an LDAP other than OID because they support more applications
than Oracle.

Subject: Someone using LDAP to authenticate users to NDS?
We're looking into authenticating our users via LDAP to NDS. We are on
8.1.7.2 and Solaris 5.8. We're also using 9iAS release 1.
I understand that LDAP is not suported in 9i and above and that OID may be
the way to go. We don't have OID installed in 8i, we probably go that way
when upgrading to 9i, but that is not going to happen in the near future.
Is someone out there doing this type of authentication? If so, what are
your thoughts? And how did you go about setting this up without OID?
Thanks
