Configuring Centrally Managed Users with Microsoft Active Directory

Oracle Database can authenticate and authorize Microsoft Active Directory users with the database directly without intermediate directories or Oracle Enterprise User Security.

• Introduction to Centrally Managed Users with Microsoft Active Directory
  Centrally managed users (CMU) provides a simpler integration with Microsoft Active Directory to allow centralized authentication and authorization of users.

• Configuring the Oracle Database-Microsoft Active Directory Integration
  Before you can use Microsoft Active Directory to authenticate and authorize users, you must configure the connection from the Oracle database to Active Directory.

• Configuring Authentication for Centrally Managed Users
  You can configure password authentication, Kerberos authentication, or public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication.

• Configuring Authorization for Centrally Managed Users
  With centrally managed users, you can manage the authorization for Active Directory users to access Oracle databases.

• Troubleshooting Centrally Managed Users
  Oracle provides error messages that help you troubleshoot common errors that may arise when a Microsoft Active Directory user tries to log in to an Oracle database.

• Integration of Oracle Database with Microsoft Active Directory Account Policies
  As part of the Oracle Database-Microsoft Active Directory integration, Oracle Database enforces the Active Directory account policies when Active Directory users log into the Oracle database.

• Configuring Centrally Managed Users with Oracle Autonomous Database
  You can deploy centrally managed users (CMU) on Oracle Autonomous Database.

• Troubleshooting Centrally Managed Users
  Oracle provides error messages that help you troubleshoot common errors that may arise when a Microsoft Active Directory user tries to log in to an Oracle database.
