Oracle Internet Directory is a standards-based LDAP directory which leverages the scalability, high availability and security features of the Oracle database. OID enables you to efficiently administer the employees, customers, suppliers and partners that need access to your applications. The product provides a single, centralized repository for all user data.
Oracle Internet Directory is an integral part of Oracle Application Server security as the repository for user names and passwords. However, OID is a complete directory service based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). OID combines the capabilities of a directory service with the power and security of the Infrastructure repository Oracle database.
