Oracle shows how to do it with Sun

From an OBE (Oracle by Example) tutorial recently posted up on Oracle Technology Network, entitled Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server Authentication Using Sun Directory Server:

By default, users, groups, and roles are stored within Oracle WebLogic Server’s embedded Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) store, which is hosted on the Administration Server. The authentication is handled internally using the embedded LDAP. In this OBE, you learn how to move users and groups from the embedded LDAP to the Sun directory server, and then use the new Sun authentication provider rather than the default authentication provider to authenticate users. However, the roles and policies are still maintained within the embedded LDAP server.

You don’t see many articles dealing with integrating Sun DSEE (Directory Server Enterprise Edition) 6.3 with 3rd party products nowadays, so this one caught my eye. Not that it’s a predictor of what Oracle will do with DSEE if their purchase of Sun goes through, of course.

A guy can hope though.
