Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide describes the features, architecture, and administration of Oracle Internet Directory. For information about installation, see the installation documentation for your operating system.
This Preface contains these topics:
Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide is intended for anyone who performs administration tasks for the Oracle Internet Directory. You should be familiar with either the UNIX operating system or the Microsoft Windows operating system in order to understand the line-mode commands and examples. You can perform all of the tasks through the line-mode commands, and you can perform most of the tasks through Oracle Directory Manager, which is operating system-independent.
To use this document, you need some familiarity with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
