Oracle Internet Directory is Oracle's LDAP v3-compliant implementation. Interestingly Oracle's implementation really does not need LDUP for scalability as the LDAP processes on distributed servers can all talk to a central repository.

In addition to a very scalable LDAP server, Oracle provides a number of unique schemas to support Oracle-specific needs such as Single SignOn and Oracle 'Enterprise' UserIds and Roles

Full details at http://docs.oracle.com -> Application Server documentation.
