How does Delegated Administration Services Work?

Oracle Delegated Administration Services is a J2EE application that is deployed in OC4J_Security in Oracle AS infra instance.

Oracle DAS performs the following basic tasks 

1. Receive requests from the clients
2. Process those requests- by either retrieving or updating data in Oracle Internet Directory & compile the LDAP result into an HTML page
3. Send the HTML back to the browser

1. The user from a browser using HTTP, sends a request to DAS containing a directory query
2. DAS receives the request & launches the appropriate servlet. The servlet interprets the request & sends it to Oracle Internet Directory using LDAP
3. OID sends LDAP request back to DAS servlet
4. DAS servlet compiles the LDAP result in a HTML page and sends it to the Web browser
