Accessing LDAP via Oracle 8i

[asb555]

Hello All,

I am trying to find out if it is possible to query an LDAP Server using Oracle 8i. What I would like to do is to setup an Oracle Database with the proper fields and then populate the database by query the LDAP Server. Any help or links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Oracle 8i actuall provides an OID (Oracle Internet Directory) feature that is supposed to interface with LDAP (NDS included if you are a Novell shop).
