I didn't see it, probably 10G overload....

I too have thought about it and decided, um no.

My reasons.

Its a brand new naming method. Brand new tends to mean buggy.
It requires modifying the AD schema (so you need to be schema admin to do this)
It will increase AD replication traffic.
What does it give that ONAMES doesn't?

FWIW we don't register MSSQL with AD either.

I did not receive any replies to this posting. Does that mean that nobody
has connected Oracle to Active Directory? Has anyone tried and given up on
this?

We are trying to configure an Oracle LDAP connection to Microsoft Active

Directory. This is so a client machine can get the connection information
(an alternative to tnsnames.ora or Oracle Names) and connect to an Oracle9i
database on Sun Solaris.

Does anyone know how you create the container called Oracle Context Structure in Active Directory? My Active Directory administrator tells me
this is not like a normal AD container. We've read the documents and are

confused on this point. Thanks.
