 - Data confidentiality
 - Password protection
 - Data access control
 
 
 What are OID Monitor and OID Control Utilities?
 
 OID Monitor Utility initiates, monitors, and terminates the OID 
			server processes. All the activities are logged in the $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/log/oidmon.log 
			file. The OID Monitor process must be running to process commands 
			from OID control utility. To start/stop the OID Monitor process do 
			the following:
 
 # oidmon connect=net_service_name sleep=10 start/stop -- the command 
			starts/stops OID monitor and every 10 seconds checks to restart any 
			servers that may have stopped not by the �stop� option.
 
 OID Control Utility stops and starts the server OID instance 
			processes.
 
 
 What is Oracle Directory Manager?
 
 It is a Java-based GUI tool to maintain and administer Oracle
