First, you need to ensure that the NDS schema is extended - which should occur when you installed Oracle. Also make sure that the NWAdmin snap in has been correctly installed.

Once this is done, create a database object through NWAdmin. When the object details are bought up, you can enter the name of the Oracle instance. Once this is done, all you need to do to shutdown and restart Oracle - Orastop, Oraunld.

Upon restarting you can go back into NWAdmin and create Oracle users within the Oracle database object. The Novell users map to the Oracle users that you create. To log in, you need to specify Login name: / Password: <None> Service .NameOfDatabaseObject.Context.Context.Organisation

Easy as that.
