What is Oracle LDAP?

Oracle LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), often referred to as Oracle Unified Directory, is a directory service that stores information about users, groups, and other network resources in a centralized location. It is commonly used for authentication, authorization, and managing user identities within an organization. It provides a hierarchical structure for organizing data and supports standard LDAP protocols for accessing and modifying directory information. Oracle LDAP enables centralized administration and simplifies the management of user accounts and security policies across various applications and systems.
