Mladen, I usually like your posts, but OID for Directory Naming is free.

Quote from the Licensing Information:
<Quote>
A restricted-use license for Oracle Internet Directory (OID), a component of Oracle Identity Management, is included with all editions if users use the Directory Naming feature to configure Oracle Net Services. OID may not be used or deployed for other uses. Please contact your Oracle sales representative for additional information on Oracle Identity Management. </Quote>

It it on my to do list to ask my wife to setup a Microsoft Active Directory and let me test it for Directory Naming. I don't know whether it is open enough, but AD can be found in many companies.
