Database user authentication through LDAP server
804862Oct 20 2010 — edited Oct 21 2010We need to authenticate Oracle database users with the corporate LDAP server (non-OID). The scenario is this:
1) A user types in his user name and password on the login screen of the application.
2) The application sends the credentials to an Oracle DB.
3) The DB sends the credentials to the corporate LDAP server.
4) The LDAP server approves/disapproves the credentials and sends the response back to the database.
Here are my questions:
1. Is it possible to accomplish that in RDBMS Enterprise Edition without installing any additional Oracle software? If yes, then how?
2. If additional software is required then what is it?
3. Is separate licensing irequired for this additional software?
Thank you very much to anybody who can help!
