The only Oracle-supported method of this is to use Oracle Internet Directory
("OID"). OID has a fun feature that says it will allow full replication
between it and "another" full LDAPv3 compliant server, which is odd
considering that OID itself is *not* LDAPv3 compliant -- no matter what
Oracle tells you (try using OID LDIF files in another LDAP server!).
I've also not been able to get OID to replicate reliably to another OID
instance. It works fine for a few weeks, then chortles when some resource
leak hits a limit. Oracle Support has put this to development, where it has
been sitting for several months. Granted, our new sales people really
seemed to put forth a lot of effort in resolving the issue, but it was just
too late. We have dumped OID in favor of Sun One (iPlanet). Which means
that Oracle won't support authentication or names resolution -- unless we
have OID in between the DB and Sun One... <sigh>.
I like the DB, but the other Oracle products I'm not too sure about...
