New Features Introduced with Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.4.0.1)
New Features Introduced with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

New Features Introduced with Oracle Internet Directory Release 9.0.2
New Features Introduced with Oracle Internet Directory Release 3.0.1
New Features Introduced with Oracle Internet Directory Release 2.1.1
In Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.4.2.0), you can now construct mapping rules by using the Oracle Directory Integration Server Administration tool. For more information, see "Managing Synchronization Profiles".
This section describes the features introduced with Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.4.0.1).
Express configuration of the Sun Java System Directory Connector—You can now perform an express configuration of the Sun Java System Directory connector. Express configuration uses default mappings and filtering to synchronize changes between Oracle Internet Directory and Sun Java System Directory server. Two synchronization profiles are created with express configuration: one profile that synchronizes changes from Sun Java System Directory to Oracle Internet Directory and another profile that synchronizes changes from Oracle Internet Directory to Sun Java System Directory. For more information, see Chapter 21, "Integrating with Sun Java System Directory".
Support for Microsoft Exchange Server with the Microsoft Active Directory Connector—The Microsoft Active Directory connector now supports integration with Microsoft Exchange Server. For more information, see Chapter 19, " Integrating with Microsoft Active Directory".
Integration with Novell eDirectory and OpenLDAP—Oracle Directory Integration Platform now supports integration between Oracle Internet Directory and Novell eDirectory or OpenLDAP. For more information, see Chapter 22, "Integrating with Novell eDirectory or OpenLDAP".
Synchronization of passwords from Microsft Microsoft Active Directory—When synchronizing users from Microsoft Active Directory to Oracle Internet Directory, you can now also synchronize passwords by using Oracle Password Filter for Microsoft Active Directory. For more information, see Chapter 20, "Deploying the Oracle Password Filter for Microsoft Active Directory".
Directory Integration Assistant support for SSL—The Directory Integration Assistant (dipassistant) now supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Oracle Directory Integration Platform—Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning is now called Oracle Directory Integration Platform.
This section describes the new features introduced with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).
Enhanced provisioning capabilities and functionality—This release includes enhanced capabilities and functionality with Oracle Directory Integration Platform Provisioning. You can also use the new Oracle Internet Directory Provisioning Console, a graphical interface for administrators to provision users in Oracle Internet Directory. The Oracle Internet Directory Provisioning Console was created with Oracle Delegated Administration Services, and works alongside the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console. For more information, see Part IV, "Provisioning with the Oracle Directory Integration Platform".
Graphical administration of Oracle Directory Integration Platform—You can now use the new Oracle Directory Integration Server Administration tool, a Java-based utility for graphically administering the Oracle directory integration platform. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Oracle Directory Integration Platform Administration Tools".
Express configuration of the Microsoft Active Directory Connector—You can now perform an express configuration of the Microsoft Active Directory Connector. Express configuration uses default settings to automatically perform all required configurations, and also creates two synchronization profiles, one for import and one for export.
Simplified configuration of Windows Native Authentication—This guide now includes detail instructions for configuring Windows Native Authentication. For more information, see Chapter 19, " Integrating with Microsoft Active Directory".
This section describes the new features introduced with Oracle Internet Directory Release 10g (9.0.4).
Integration with the Microsoft Windows environment—You can integrate the Oracle Application Server infrastructure with the Microsoft Windows operating system—including Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. This integration is achieved by using the Microsoft Active Directory Connector in Oracle Directory Integration Platform and plug-ins.
External authentication support—You can store user security credentials in a repository other than Oracle Internet Directory—for example, a database or another LDAP directory such as Microsoft Active Directory or Sun Java System Directory. You can then use these credentials for user authentication.

This section describes the new features introduced with Oracle Internet Directory Release 9.0.2.
New directory integration capabilities—Oracle Internet Directory Release 9.0.2 introduces new kinds of connectivity with other applications and repositories, both Oracle-built and otherwise. The new Oracle Directory Integration Platform Service and Oracle Directory Synchronization Service are built upon Oracle Directory Integration Platform (introduced with Oracle Internet Directory Release 2.1.1.1 in the Oracle8i Release 3 time frame).
Oracle Directory Integration Platform Service—Provisioning is the process of granting or revoking a user's access to application resources based on business rules. The user can be either a human user or an application.
The Oracle Directory Integration Platform Service ensures that subscribing applications or business entities are alerted to updates in Oracle Internet Directory for keeping local repositories synchronized. It enables you to synchronize local, application-specific information by using Oracle Internet Directory as the primary repository.
Oracle Directory Synchronization Service and the LDAP connector—The Oracle Directory Synchronization Service enables near-complete leveraging of previously deployed infrastructure, including but not limited to ERP and CRM systems, third-party LDAP directories, and network operating system (NOS) user repositories. It enables you to synchronize information among enterprise directories and Oracle Internet Directory. This allows for centralized administration, thereby reducing administrative costs. It ensures that data is consistent and up-to-date across the enterprise.
This section describes the new features introduced with Oracle Internet Directory Release 3.0.1.
Oracle Directory Integration Platform—This feature enables you to synchronize various directories with Oracle Internet Directory. It also makes it easier for third party metadirectory vendors and developers to develop and deploy their own connectivity agents.
This section describes the features introduced with Oracle Internet Directory Release 2.1.1.
Synchronization with multiple directories in a metadirectory environment (release 2.1.1 only)—If you are working in a metadirectory environment, then this feature enables you to synchronize multiple directories with Oracle Internet Directory.
Note:
This feature was replaced in Release 3.0.1 by Oracle Directory Integration Platform. See Chapter 1, "Introduction to Oracle Identity Management Integration" for more information.
