Configuring Centrally Managed Users with Microsoft Active Directory

Oracle AI 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.

• 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.
