Hi,
Actually, it's not so bad.
OiD is licensed separately ONLY when used as general purpose directory
service.
Check Metalink Note:135696.1
"13. Do I need to license OID when deploying the directory for NET8 ?
Answer
------
No, deploying OID for NET8 is free of charge."

OiD is a "separately licensable product"...not included as part of the DB
license. If I remember correctly, you have the UPU license calculation or a
per entry license @ $50/, with 5000 entries being the minimum!!

Hi Ed,
Why do you say that OiD "is not cheap"? I haven't seen any associated
costs, other than servers to put it on. Can you explain?
The "complicated" part, though I definitely agree with! :)
Thx!

Vikas,
I just implemented Oracle Names (8.1.6) for Verizon
Wireless...corporate-wide. I've setup three ONAMES servers:
1. At Corporate Headquarters in NJ. This server contains the region
database for ONAMES. It also serves as the "Secondary" ONAMES server
corporate-wide.
2. In data center in NY. This server provides "Primary" ONAMES services to
the corporate regions in both the North East and South areas.
3. In data center in CA. This server provides "Primary" ONAMES services to
the corporate regions in both the West and Midwest areas.
This infrastructure supports 26,000 users accessing 250+ databases
corporate-wide.
Oracle Names is making its' terminal release in 9i. Oracle is recommending
that companies migrate to their LDAP (Oracle Internet Directory) solution.
This solution is not cheap...so we have decided to wait probably another
year or so before going this route. OiD is also a bit more complicated to
setup and administer.
