But I need to create an LDAP directory such that it will contain the user name and passwords for the users and when user is logging to any application he is authenticated from LDAP directory
e.g Users who need to browse the internet need to authenticate with username and password for access from the firewall ( Juniper Netscreen ) and similairly other applications like oracle ERP such that they will have only 1 username and password stored in LDAP directory and all other applications will search for the user name and password for authentication

Is it possible
Maybe. If you're responsible for a network with Oracle, Juniper servers, etc., you should already know that what you're asking, depends on what the things BEHIND it support.
If the Netscreen supports LDAP authentication, then yes, it'll work. Otherwise, it obviously won't. Same with Oracle, or any other piece of software...if they support LDAP, you can make them work with your LDAP server. Doesn't matter what the LDAP server is running on in any way.
