I guess it's more a problem of support. Although Oracle claims their database can use "LDAP" directories, when it comes to it, they only support their own and Microsoft's. What a shame.
They always say they are commited to open standards, so why not officially support any LDAP server? I hope Oracle rectifies this soon. Received on Fri Jan 03 2003 - 21:15:06 CST
