When running Policy Server, what is the latest version of Policy and
User Store Oracle ODSEE (Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition) ?

 

Environment

Resolution

 

At first glance, on date of March 21st 2022, according to our Support
Matrix, Policy Server 12.8SP6 has been fully tested and developped for
ODSEE 11gR1, 11gR1SP1 and 11.1.1.x (1).

From the above, take note of Oracle Unified Directory as it seems the
