Oracle Internet Directory
Directory services are central to an identity management strategy. Oracle Internet Directory is an LDAP v3 directory that leverages the scalability, high availability and security features of the Oracle Database. Oracle Internet Directory serves as the central user repository for Oracle Identity Management, simplifying user administration in the Oracle environment and providing a standards-based application directory for the heterogeneous enterprise. Additionally, Oracle Directory Synchronization allows Oracle Identity Management to seamlessly integrate with other directories and enterprise user repositories, allowing users to leverage identity information wherever it resides.
