Creating a secure application environment requires integration of existing user identity information. For some companies, that information is contained in databases. Others use LDAP directories or Windows Domains. For most, this information is scattered across multiple locations and multiple services. Oracle Virtual Directory provides Internet and industry-standard LDAP and XML views of existing enterprise identity information, without synchronizing or moving data from its native locations. This accelerates the deployment of applications and reduces costs by eliminating the need to constantly adapt those applications to a changing identity landscape as user populations are added, changed, or removed.
Oracle Virtual Directory 11g improves the industry's most flexible identity service by providing enterprise-grade monitoring and deployment accelerators.
This case study shows how Rubicon Red uses Oracle Directory Services to enable Powercor to simplify their SOA deployment and reduce time to market.
