Limitations of Directory Naming Support with Microsoft Active Directory
In addition to Oracle Internet Directory, directory naming support is
also provided with Microsoft Active Directory
<http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14212/gl
ossary.htm#i1001504> . Note the following limitations:
* Oracle provides support for Microsoft Active Directory only on
Windows operating systems. Therefore, client computers and the database
server must also run on Windows operating systems to access or create
entries in Microsoft Active Directory.
* The following features are not supported by Microsoft Active
Directory:
* Multiple Oracle Contexts
Microsoft Active Directory can support only one Oracle
Context.
* Net service aliases
You cannot create net service aliases in Microsoft
Active Directory. However, you can create net service names.
* Automatic client discovery of directory servers for
clients
You must statically configure directory server usage on
the clients. The Oracle Internet Directory Configuration will not
provide directory server usage for Microsoft Active Directory. You must
use Oracle Net Configuration Assistant

Directory Naming Software Requirements
For client computers from which you want to manage Oracle Database
enterprise users, roles and domains, you must have Oracle8i Client
release 8.1.6 or later and one of the following Microsoft products:
* Windows XP
* Windows 2000
* Windows Server 2003
For the database, you must have Oracle8i Database release 8.1.6 or
later. This is required for registering the database service as an
object in Active Directory. The database can use any of the following
Microsoft products:
* Windows 2000
* Windows Server 2003
Both the client computers and the database must be members of a Windows
2000 domain.

Mladen,
You could use OpenLDAP on Linux, but 'small' problem is that
Oracle OID .ldif-Format is different from the OpenLDAP format...so, you
need to 'change' it a bit - a lot of fun guaranteed :-)
The disadvantage of Microsoft AD is that client computers and
the database server must run on windows OS.
Where do you get that last bit of information from? I'm pretty certain
that it's incorrect.
