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.

---- FDS is indifferent to which client applications authenticate - it's only the manner - i.e. LDAPv2 or LDAPv3, using plain/TLS/SASL/SSL etc.
Thus your question is really for Oracle users and not FDS users.

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.

One of my colleagues told me just last week that he is using FDS for Oracle authentication without any problems.
