ThanksLDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a standard format for interacting with a directory server. OID (Oracle Internet Diretcory) is a specific software product that implements the LDAP standard.

  • Difference between LDAP & oracle DB

    Hi..All,
    I am totally new to the LDAP concepts. I attended a small training regarding LDAP. As far I I learned , its allows you to autheticate a user against the LDAP db. THe db is well tuned to do heavy weight read . My question is how does it differ from directly doing to a Oracle database to autheticate the user instead of going thru LDAP.
    TIA,
    Praveen

    LDAP is a directory access protocol. It doesn't provide all the capabilities of an RDBMS like Oracle. It is a specialized protocol for accessing data that is more often read than updated. It is typically used to store user information and as such is used a lot for security infrastructure. A general relational DBMS may not have such specific built-in support for authentication and authorization. LDAP provides significant security support built-in.
    In fact, Oracle (the company) has an LDAP offering which uses Oracle as the underlying data repository.

  • How do I tell the difference between LDAP, CalDAV, or GAL contact lists.

    My iPhone does not have the + button available in the contacts section. I can't edit or add to my contacts. The Manual says the + will not be available if I am using a LDAP, CalDAV, or GAL contact list, but I see no instructions on how to determine this or how to change it. Any Help out there?

    Yes , and to rub in the fact they must be in pairs, 2x512 or 2x1gb for your 1 or 2gb ram upgrades, depending on how much extra ram you want to put in you can keep or store them for back up later.
    I kept the stock ram in i have 2gb (4x512mb) 2 in riser a and 2 in riser b
    how i usually go about putting ram in is:
    Load up Slot 1 and 2 in riser A, then load up Slot 1 & 2 in riser B, then fill 3 & 4 in Riser A then same fill 3 & 4 in Riser B

  • Similarities and Differences between HTML DB an Portal

    Hi, I have several years of experience with Oracle Technology as DBA and Developer (Forms and Reports mainly). I'm excited and willing to familiarize with new technologies like Portal and HTML DB. I've been reading about both products and it seems they share similar principles in their arquitecture: both use dynamic page concepts, templates, and DB centric approach for building html apps.
    It seems like HTML DB is like some sort of "little brother" version of Portal: you don't need and application server and others licence purchase for deploying database centric web apps using HTML DB.
    So in short, can anyone portrait basic similarities and differences between these two products?.
    Thanks ...!

    "319071" and Doug:
    The products have different purposes. Portal provides content aggregation, application integration and personalization. Together with the Oracle Application Server infrastructure you also get identity management capabilities such as a centralized LDAP-based user directory and Single Sign-On. HTML DB is a tool for rapid development of database centric web applications. Nothing more, nothing less. Portal allows you to bring together applications built using a variety of technologies. HTML DB is just one of those technologies that happens to be optimized for web development on an Oracle database.
    Once you have built your application with HTML DB, you may choose to place a link to it on a portal page. You may even choose to make authentication seamless by making the HTML DB application a Single Sign-On partner application (see: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/sso_partner_app.html). Or, you may want to display some data from a report developed in HTML DB inside a portlet (see: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/omniportlet_index.html)
    Granted, Portal does have database centric development capabilities (what used to be called WebDB), but they are not nearly as flexible as HTML DB's. HTML DB lets you control page flow while maintaining session state, has quite sophisticated report building capabilities such as column based sorting and pagination, form building capabilities such as declarative field level data validations, built in field level help, etc.

  • What are the difference between these products?

    Hi,
    I don`t see the difference between Sun JAva system Directory Proxy Server and
    Sun java System Directory Server?

    Both the Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server and the Sun Java System Directory Server are LDAP servers.
    The Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server strictly acts as a proxy for LDAP requests - it stores no LDAP data of its own. This product needs a LDAP server with data storage to forward LDAP requests to.
    The Sun Java System Directory Server has a backend database for storing LDAP data.

  • Difference between mailroutingsmarthost and daemon

    I would like to know the difference between mailroutingsmarthost and daemon usage. When to use mailroutingsmarthost and when to use daemon?
    Thanks in advance.

    MailRoutingSmarthost is placed in LDAP for a domain.
    Daemon keyword is for an entire channel, and is used in the imta.cnf
    LDAP entries require no restart.
    imta.cnf mods require both compile of new config and a restart of the dispatcher to take effect.

  • Difference between Portal Transport and Basis Transport

    Hi Experts,
    I have few questions .
    1. What's the difference between transport in portal and transport in Basis.
    2 . In user admin , we create users and assign them roles. Even Basis people will create
         new userids and assign them roles. Whats the difference between these two.
    3. In useradmin whats the difference between assigned roles and assigned groups.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    I don't see any differnece in portal and basis transport
    Content transport generally done from one landscape to other landscape. say  from dev to test system
    or test  to production system.
    we create user id using user admin role in portal ume or we can get users externally by using LDAP funtionality.
    Using user admin role we can assingn users to rolese and groups.
    Groups are used for a group of users. IF certain users have similar authorizations in portal then we group them in single user group and then assing this group to the roles. This is called authorization.
    Role is used to display the portal content to the users and is the top level navigation in portal.
    If I miss anything at basis level then someone can help you.

  • Difference between Mac Pro and Mac XServer

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if there is any difference between Mac Pro and the Mac XServer - at the OS level? Meaning, if I design an application on Mac Pro would it run seamlessly on XServer or do I need to care about a few things.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    Both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server are presently at the Tiger 10.4.10 release, with Mac OS X Server having various added pieces and features, and having a few structural and configuration differences.
    * Do both of them support the ipv6 protocol
    Yes; both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server both offer IPv6.
    * do both of them support LDAP and PAM based authentication
    Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server have LDAP support, yes. Mac OS X Server has LDAP authentication, DNS and a variety of other servers built in. Mac OS X is configured as a client, though there is the Apache web server.
    Haven't looked for PAM for either platform.
    * Do both of them support the same level of Java ( I understand we need 1.5 or higher for Tiger / Leapord)
    Java itself is the same on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, though Mac OS X Server has server-oriented pieces of Java present. And it's still write once, debug everywhere.
    No Leopard questions are permissible here at this time; Leopard details are NDA.
    * Do the compilers (gcc) have different compilation options - maybe xServer uses some better optimized flags that handle large volumes of data and network traffic.
    AFAIK, there are no differences in gcc defaults. Nor would I expect any. Handling volumes of data is left to the programmer. (I'm not even sure how a compiler author would even implement that sort of difference.)
    * Is there any difference in the behavior of the way the libraries ...
    I'd expect the exact same behavior the programmer requested would occur with both platforms.
    Now as for what I expect is the root of your question, yes, you'll likely want to test your application on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server software platforms. There can exist very hard to predict details such as cases where dual NICs or the aforementioned directory differences that have tossed a few applications off the rails and into the weeds; have caused applications to fail.
    You can choose to install Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro. Probably the 10-client, because you probably aren't planning to serve piles of clients from the Mac Pro.
    An overview of Mac OS X Server is here:
    http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
    Now as to whether or not I would expect run-time differences, no. But I've been at this way too long and have chased way to many weird bugs to make any promises here.

  • Difference between SAP Access Control and IDM

    Hi Expert,
    I have one question What is the difference between SAP Access Control and SAP Identity Management ?

    Ali,
    That's a good question, but a tough one.
    While both applications can do most of what the other can do, it's a matter of specialization in my opinion.
    Access Control is all about managing and controlling access to SAP system roles and has the ability to report on role conflicts for compliance and reporting purposes. (I'm sure I'm leaving a lot out, but maybe a GRC / AC expert can fill in more details)
    SAP IDM is about managing the user life cycle with regards to landscape and enterprise systems. It will handle the creation, update and ultimately the removal (or de-provisioning) of users in SAP ABAP, SAP JAVA, LDAP, JDBC, and API based applications.  It will also do Role Management through a web based UI (User management is web based as well). and as of the latest Service pack for SAP IDM 7.2, it will do attestation (limited certification) as well. It is a definite upgrade to CUA as it will work with a greater variety of systems, include workflows and approvals.
    GRC will do some provisioning, but it's somewhat limited, as is IDM's compliance abilities.
    The applications are designed to work together, however it does not have a great track record and the integration is typically heavily modified to work as desired.
    If you have specific questions, feel free to post / DM.  Obviously I am more knowledgeable about IDM, but I'll be happy to help you in any way possible.

  • Difference between user directory and native directory in Shared Services

    Hi,
    Please any one can help me......
    I am new to Hyperion, what is difference between Hyperion Shared services Native directory and User/Active directory.
    thanks in advance..............

    Hi,
    Shared Services native directory, as the name suggests, is a user directory (i.e. ldap) that is native to Hyperion. It allows you to create users, groups and define access rights to Hyperion Products. User/Active directory is the directory where users in your company reside. Shared Services can connect to it and retrieve the list of users and groups. You can define the access rights for these users if you configure the system in a way that it works with Active Directory.
    You can use both combined also. Meaning, you can create user groups in native directory and assign native directory users into them and define access rights onto user groups and/or users.
    Cheers,
    Alp

  • About the Differences between MyServices Professional and MyServices Consumer

    About the Differences between MyServices Professional and MyServices Consumer
    MyServices Professional is different from MyServices Consumer in the following ways:
    There are Common Tasks links on the home page for Order on Behalf and for Authorizations (if the Authorization portlet is enabled in the user's profile).
    Automatically grants the Order on Behalf permission for all people in the Home OU of the MyServices Professional user.
    Adds the "Authorizations for Others" view on the Authorizations page. This view allows the MyServices Professional user to view -- but not perform -- all Authorizations for people in their Home OU.
    See the attached file for more detail and screenshots of: MyServices Consumer with and without the Order on Behalf link displayed, and Requisition and Authorization list views; MyServices Professional Home page with and without the Authorizations portlet visible, and Requisition and Authorization list views. 
    Note: RequestCenter 2006 cannot be configured to automatically add users to MyServices Professional on creation of their user record via directory integration. This can be accomplished in RC2007, since roles can be imported from LDAP in that version.

    Hi Koji,
    One thing to consider is the number of different source types. BO supports SAP and all the relational DBs. There is also the fact that BO provides a single front end to different reporting type which makes the user experience much better. Finally, users ability to build there own reports, without a high level of traiining is one of the big selling points for BO.
    Here is a good overview  of the combination of the 2 , including some roadmap

  • Export differences between GUI ALV and Portal

    Hi,
    Have a customer that is able to export reports to Excel using the 'Local File -> Spreadsheet Option'. When this is used in the GUI, the report exports as expected, all columns from the ALV view in the correct columns in excel.
    If I run the same report through the customer portal, exporting the data in the same way, when I open the file in excel, each ALV column is combined into 1 column in excel.
    Questions:
    - Are there any differences between the GUI and Portal when using the exporting functions?
    - Would this output be determined by Excel and not the SAP export?
    Any assistance or guidance is much appreciated.
    Thanks
