To manage large networking environments, administrators must be able to easily access a centralized repository to specify and modify the network configuration. To support this requirement, the Oracle Net Services configuration can be stored in an LDAP-compliant directory server.
Supporting LDAP-compliant directory servers provides the enterprise with a vehicle for centrally managing and configuring a distributed Oracle network. The directory can act as a central repository of information about database network components, user and corporate policies, and user authentication and security, thus replacing localized client-side and server-side configuration files.

Enterprise User Security (EUS), a feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, leverages Oracle Directory Services (ODS) to centrally manage database users and role memberships in an enterprise LDAP directory. This provides a way to address the security and management problems posed by maintaining database users and privileges in individual databases.
