The article discusses aspects of configuring Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory, as well as Kerberos and Oracle Advanced Security Option and can be used as a guide for Oracle/Kerberos implementations on other platforms and versions. The article is intended to supplement the Oracle Advanced Security Administrator's Guide. Oracle Versions Oracle11gR2 ,Oracle10g R2 (10.2.0), Oracle10g R1 (10.1.0) and Oracle9i R2 (9.2.0) have all been tested successfully. All excerpts were taken from working systems.
