Re: Oracle back_sql support question openldap-2.4.11

Does OpenLdap support an oracle backend database? I have an existing
database with users that I'd like to put an LDAP interface in front of
to service other clients. Is this possible?
It should, using ODBC. However, you need to cast your data into a
structure that makes sense, according to guidelines and examples
provided here <http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/978.html>. Oracle
is not listed as "supported" simply because nobody who's using Oracle
cared to update the FAQ entry. The listed ones are those I could check
with, and lots of information might be out of date as that work is now
years old (given the evolution of MySQL, for example, I guess most of
the encountered limitations can now be easily overcome).
