Were running fds in our environment; it's running great, however I was
wondering if it's possible to use the directory servers to authenticate
Oracle database users against?  I know that Oracle has an application
called Oracle Internet Directory server, however I would rather not put
up yet another directory server.  Any thoughts?  Thanks very much.
Do you want to authenticate users to LDAP using their Oracle credentials? Maybe there is an odbc SASL data source? Then it might be possible to configure the DS SASL to use it. Can PAM be configured to auth against a database? If so, then you could use the PAM passthrough plugin. Otherwise, this sounds like a job for a BIND pre-op plugin.

Or do you want to authenticate users to Oracle apps using their LDAP credentials? I don't know how LDAP aware Oracle apps are, but in most cases I've seen this involves some sort of sync process by which passwords and other data are synchronized between Oracle and LDAP.
