An enterprise user is one who is defined and managed in a directory. Each enterprise user has a unique identity across an enterprise. Enterprise user entries can reside at any location within the identity management realm, except within the realm Oracle Context.
Note:
When creating enterprise users in a 9.0.4 or later Oracle Internet Directory, use the tools that come with that 9.0.4 or later Oracle Internet Directory, such as Delegated Administration System (DAS). Even if your databases are 9i or 9iR2, do not use the 9i or 9iR2 Enterprise Security Manager GUI tool to create users in a 9.0.4 or later Oracle Internet Directory.
Use only DAS-based tools, like the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console, that ship with Oracle Application Server 10g, to create enterprise users in identity management realms.
The entries described in the following sections can reside only within a realm Oracle Context.
