Goal
APEX authentication regarding third-party products, such as Microsoft Active Directory (AD), is not fully supported.
The only LDAP Identity Provider (IdP) fully supported is Oracle Internet Directory (OID).
Several API functions from the APEX_LDAP package were designed to work with OID and will not work with AD.
