Installing And Configuring Oracle Internet Directory

Question

The Problem:
OAS can be accessed from the internal network, but not from the outside.
The configuration:
Firewall/Router OAS
Linux with NetMax Windows NT 4.0
internet ======================= ==================
-------------| Pub IP 196.40.25.81 | | Internal IP |
| Internal IP | | 10.10.10.16 |
| 10.10.10.2 | | |
| NAT enabled and |-----| |
| working. Test with | ==================
| Linux/Apache |
=======================
Machines on the internal network (not shown above) can access OAS with no
problems. Machines on the Internet cannot. A request for URL http://196.40.25.81 returns a message of: "The request did not specify a
valid virtual host".
We have tested the NAT by replacing the OAS server with a Linux/Apache box.
This works with no problems.
We have looked up the message in Oracle's MetaLink database and found that
it relates to a name configuration problem on the Listener secction or that on the server was using DHCP. But on this case both source problems where NOT present, when I install the OAS the server has (an allways have had) a static IP adress, and wave been configured with all the host name + domain name. We have entered the OAS server
name in all possible combinations (lower case, upper case, fully qualified,
internal IP address, public IP address, etc) to no avail. The message
remains the same.
We have tried assigning a public IP (in addition to the internal one) to
the OAS machine. It can reached from the Internet by ping, but not by http.
In this case the host is not found.
If ANYBODY has a posible solution PLEASE EMAIL ME !!!
Thanks

What do you mean by integrate? OID is "C" based so there's no integration with WLS. Or are you asking to leverage OID for authentication for WLS?
