Ponnu, Looks like our resident OiD expert - Rich Jesse - didn't pick this up :) My thoughts are:
* My understanding is that although Oracle threatened to yank Onames, they have still allowed it to reside in 9.2.0.x. I haven't heard anything about this in 10g... * OiD is a lot more than just a replacement for Onames - it is the basis for Single-signon and a starting point for Content management. As such, my reading is that it is still not kosher enough... (although I heard a BDE person say that the OiD in iAS 9.0.4 was much improved) * OiD is supposed to be LDAP (v3?) compliant - that would mean that M$ products should work seamlessly against a Corporate LDAP server served out of Oracle OiD. Try getting M$ to bless this ;-) OTOH, OiD is supposed to be able to replicate well from M$ ADS. I haven't had the opportunity to try that out yet... Although I wouldn't advice against progress (Onames -> OiD), my question is 'Why fix something that is currently not broken'? Until the whole LDAP space settles down, I would advice waiting.
