Integrated authentication and Registering with Active Directory are two different things.
If you simply want to allow access to the database based on LDAP account you can simply configure for os_authent_prefix. If you really want AD integration, then the Dizwell link is very good. You won't be able to do much integration unless you are also a Domain Admin.

It should be a domain member, not a domain controller. The Windows admins will most likely not let you configure or install a domain controller.

Also, you don't have to integrate into the domain to use ADs name resolution. AD is a DNS by default, so you simply configure for HOST resolution. Received on Sat Apr 07 2007 - 17:48:35 CDT
