Query Microsoft Active Directory info from PL/SQL

Hi,
We are developping an APEX application that would need to query information about the enterprise computers defined on the Active directory. Anyone knows it would be possible acces to this info from PL/SQL?
I ahve read that exists a package that enables manipulate COM objectes (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/win.920/a95499/ch3core.htm#1006978)
and I know that they exists COM interfases to Active Diretory (they are named Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) ) but I have no idea if its possible to succesfully merge these 2 concepts.
Has anyone tried to query Active directory info from PL/SQL using COM components or any other method?
Thanks by advance

Why not use DBMS_LDAP? That is what APEX's (built-in) LDAP authentication module uses. And it works just fine (doing a bind call) against a MS Active Directory Server.
As for mucking about with COM from Oracle.. me no like. That ties your Oracle and PL/SQL to a specific operating system and you loose of the biggest advantages of Oracle - portability. Worse, you are at the mercy of the o/s vendor sticking to whatever standards used. In the case of Microsoft, that means mostly proprietary "standards" and very likely changes in those "standards" with every new version of the o/s - which will break your software. (personal experience talking)
Rather let Oracle deal with the o/s complexities and restrict your code to using Oracle features only, as far as possible.

  • Removing an 1 way trust Active Directory Domain from SearchActiveDirectoryDomains

    One of our AD domains is being retired.  After configuration for both, we need to change to only point to one domain.  Is running the following advisable to fix?
    stsadm
    -o setapppassword
    -password ******
    stsadm
    -o setproperty
    -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests
    -pv "domain:***.**.*****.**.***,TDC\***********,**********"

    Thank you,

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to remove an one way trust Active Directory Domain from SearchActiveDirectoryDomains.
    People Picker will only query the forests or domains that you specify in the
    peoplepicker-searchadforests property setting.
    To specify the forests or domains to be queried together with the credentials, type the following command:
    stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv
    <Valid list of forests or domains, Login name, Password> -url
    <Web application URL>

  • How i use OEM 12c to monitor Microsoft Active directory.

    Hi,
    How i use OEM 12c to monitor Microsoft Active directory.Please assist me on this.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    The fundamental problem with this scenario is that you have non-failover capable modules in a failover chassis - think of the ASA failover pair as one device and the IPS modules as two completely separate devices.
    Then, as already mentioned, add only the primary ASA. (The secondary will never be passing traffic in standby mode so it's not actually needed in MARS) Then, with the first IPS module you can add it as a module of the ASA or as a standalone device (MARS doesn't care). With the second IPS module the only option is to add it as a separate device anyway.
    In a failover scenario the ASA's swap IP's but the IPS's don't so whereas you'll only ever get messages from the active ASA you'll get messages from both IPS IP's depending on which one happens to be in the active ASA at the time.
    Don't forget that you have to manually replicate all IPS configuration every time you make a change.
    HTH
    Andrew.

  • Deploying Oracle Password filter for Microsoft Active Directory.

    We created the Oracle Wallet w/ Self-Signed Certificate. When we setup the Oracle Password filter for Microsoft Active Directory from LDAP server. We are getting the error. Certificate is not valid.
    Is this OK or Can we get the success message.

    You can't ignore it. A valid certificate is important to make it work.

  • Portal Integration with Microsoft Active Directory

    We are working on a project to integrate Oracle9iAS Portal with Microsoft Active Directory. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this and hence suggestions. Particularly, I'm wondering if its possible and how to use Active Directory to manage the Portal user accounts and group relationships?

    Please note that we finally got this working. For Active Directories sake, I would suggest using userPrincipalName or sAMAccountName as the Unique Attribute. Also, note that Active Directory uses OUs for organization, not CNs, so the search base should be either just the DN of the domain or an OU in the domain. Also, be sure to specify the full DN of the Bind DN as in CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DN=domain,DN=com

  • Oracle account and microsoft active directory password synchronisation

    Hi
    We are migrating our application to use windows active directory authentication. We have separate oracle account for
    each logged in user in the application, and these oracle credentials have to be the same as the windows active directory
    credentials.
    Also, a password change on windows Active directory should change the oracle account password.
    Is there a tool available to manage and synchronize the microsoft active directory and oracle account.
    We use oracle 10g and application is hosted on Windows 2008 server.
    Thanks

    There's an OOTB connector for Password Synch between AD -> OIM. Please use that.

    For password synch, OIM- AD/Oracle, you can use triggers.

  • Problem with Oracle external procedures and Microsoft Active Directory

    Hi,
    Our server was recently updated to use Microsoft Active Directory. However, we noticed that all external procedure calls keeps on failing with ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection external procedure agent. Everything was working fine before we migrated to Active Directory which is why we can say that the listener is configured correctly.
    Any idea on how we can make extproc calls with Active Directory?
    thanks.

    Michael,
    Oracle Forms does support Single Sign-On (SSO). Take a look at Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide: OC4J Java Single Sing-On. Also take a look at the Oracle Forms 10g Sample Code and scroll to the SSO demo under the Forms Services Demo section. There are also, numerous other documents available via Google. ;-)
