When installing on an Oracle system, we initially got errors during the install because MDB2 was trying to run DBA level functions that we don't have access to. The queries are in an array in libraries/pear/MDB2/Driver/Manager/oci8.php starting at line 138.
After commenting these lines out the install ran just fine, which leads me to believe that Jaws probably doesn't need them to run.
I am developer that is part of a large organization that is very decentralized. Because of this, many of our services (Oracle, LDAP, web hosting, etc) run on different servers in different locations, and are maintained by different people. This means that we won't have access to various administrative parts of different services, such as certain Oracle queries.
Because of this, I think it would be nice to see more support for decentralized setups such as mine in Jaws. Another example is LDAP user authentication: This could be very useful for me, however it appears that LDAPAuthentication.php assumes that the LDAP/ActiveDirectory server is located at localhost, and I don't think it handles any kind of encryption either.
For LDAP authentication to work on my environment, we would need to be able to specify which server/port/encryption method to use in the same way that you can specify which database to use.
Thanks for your time
