RE: Oracle 9iAS Rel.2 requires OID

Hmmm...but with all the problems we've been having with OiD and replication (BUG 2369181 was opened for us), I don't forsee us being able to use it.

Interestingly enough, my co-worker has been able to get Oracle to use iPlanet and OpenLDAP for names resolution. It's a bit of a hack, since Oracle doesn't follow standard LDIF rules (and as a sidenote, doesn't enforce referential integrity because they allow an attribute to be deleted even if it's in use!), but it seems to work great.
