Directory Services White Papers

Oracle Virtual Directory

Overview Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) is a flexible and secure service for connecting applications to existing user identity, such as directories and databases, without requiring changes to either the infrastructure or applications. Customers choose OVD to accelerate the deployment of directory-enabled applications, such as portals and Single Sign-On (SSO) systems. More specifically, OVD allows customers to solve specific problems around needing to unify multiple directories, allow LDAP access to databases or other proprietary identity data stores, improve directory server scalability, and provide enhanced security. Ultimately, OVD increases the reusability of identity data, wherever it is stored., which reduces administration and integration costs.
