Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: using LDAP for tnsnames.ora repalcement

Four.
Unfortunately I do not have a solution yet. Oracle Support told me that Windows oracle can talk to AD, but not UNIX oracle; this does not seem plausible to me but I have not had a chance to follow it up.
My major gripe is the heavyweight footprint of Oracle OID (LDAP->HDAP). Compared with Oracle Names which is, more or less, up and running by firing up onames and running a script of register commands. I even feel guilty about the wasted disk space on the floppy containing my onames backups :).
"They" tell me that databases are optimized for read-write whilst LDAP repositories are optimized for read: <rhetorical question>Is there some contradiction here when considering OID?</rhetorical question>

Adar, & Everyone:
It's all well and good to have the view that the Oracle products work,
and you
can just install them and it will work. However, I have management who
says
(in effect) "Thou shalt have but one directory, and it shall be Active".
So I'm in the same boat as these other folks who are required or
constrained
by company policy and management to a single infrastructure. If we
cannot
work with that then we don't do it. Then, of course, they tell us to
move
towards Single-Sign-on.
The upshot of this is that I too am listening for another member of this
list
who has done this, or has tried and failed and here's what tripped them
up,
any sort of war story that could help me out.
I cannot believe that there are only three of us who have (or have had)
this
problem.
Anybody?
Cheers,
Mike

AFAIK, you do not need to buy anything new.
You install the OID, put the repository into a new, or existing, DB,
configure the client and away you go.
I tested it sometimes ago and it worked OK.
