I sure did not. Yes it is Active Directories.

If it?s Active Directory, Oracle has a white paper (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/windows/wp/Oracle_with_Active_Directory_TWP.pdf) that seems to indicate that what you want to do is possible. I?ve never done it myself though.

I hope this makes sense. In applications I have used before the lpad connection was performed on the application server (ie Jboss using java api). I am wondering if you can do this with just Oracle client on windows connection to a unix oracle database?
