“Oracle Internet Directory”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is a directory service produced by Oracle Corporation, which functions compatible with LDAP version 3.

Functionality

OID makes the following features available from within an Oracle database environment:

Implementation

In Oracle version 9 databases, by default, many Oracle LDAP Table Stores use tablespaces with names beginning with the OLTS_ (and occasionally P1TS_) prefixes. Relevant default schemas used may include ODS (for "Oracle directory server") and ODSCOMMON.

Operation

The OID Control Utility (OIDCTL) serves as a command-line tool for starting and stopping the OID server.^[2] The OID Monitor process interprets and executes the OIDCTL commands.

Marketing

In comparing Oracle Internet Directory with its competitors, Oracle Corporation stresses that it uses as its foundation an Oracle database; whereas many competing products (such as Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition and Novell eDirectory) do not rely on an enterprise-strength relational database, but instead on embedded database engines similar to Berkeley DB. Integration with the Oracle database makes many of the technologies available for Oracle database available for Oracle Internet Directory, and improvements that Oracle makes in the database space can instantly flow through to its LDAP implementation.

For marketing purposes, OID forms part of the Oracle Identity Management suite of Oracle Application Server.

Distribution

Oracle database version 9 included OID bundled as an extra facility. {{As of|2006}} OID shipped with the Oracle Application Server version 10.

Oracle Internet Directory 11g forms part of Oracle directory services (ODS).^[3]
