Creating Applications by Using Oracle Delegated Administration Services

You can embed Oracle Delegated Administration Services into both Oracle and third-party self-service applications that use Oracle Internet Directory. For example, if you are building a Web portal, you can add Oracle Delegated Administration Services to enable end users to change application passwords stored in the directory.

Each unit has a corresponding URL stored in the directory. To invoke a Oracle Delegated Administration Services unit, an application queries the directory at runtime for the corresponding URL.
