The most on-premises installations of Oracle databases are not using all available Oracle database packs and features. The reasons behind that could be different but one factor is always there and it is the cost. In Oracle cloud depending on service and edition, you may have a different set of features already included in the subscription. In such a case it is worth verifying and consider the new options since you are already paying for them.  And, who knows, maybe the availability of all those features will make migration to the cloud way more attractive and be one of the main drivers for your decision to move to the Oracle cloud.

An exciting new feature of Oracle Database 18c and 19c is "Centrally Managed Users" (CMU). This, for the first time, allows for simple and complete database singe sign-on (SSO) and user management integration with Microsoft Active Directory (AD). No additional licenses required!

Previously, Oracle Enterprise User Security (EUS) and Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) were needed as an intermediate component bridging the Oracle Database to Active Directory. And while EUS/OUD is still present and does offer some additional features and benefits, it's no longer required for database-AD user integration and management.

This presentation details the advantages of using CMU over the previous technologies, covers the installation/set-up process, and gives practical examples and use cases for organizations to leverage and benefit from the simplified integration of database user management (authentication and authorization) with AD.
