Hey Ninja,
What is the use case for AD users having access?
Is the goal to avoid a shared user account, which is an admitted current limitation?
No, this is currently not supported.
I have been looking at some MySQL features to contemplate what would be within the realm of possible (which implies nothing from an OCI support perspective, rather, I am curious if I see anything that would be adaptable for future OCI versions to use).

Doesn't seem very viable, because it requires each user account to be manually created in MySQL - i.e, you are mapping a Windows account to a MySQL user account, and it doesn't seem possible to do something like
"When username is a member of group X, create username with mysql permissions GRANT ____ on tables _____"
Instead, you are mapping a group to a specific mysql user, which I would tend to think wouldn't help much, as you couldn't seemingly understand within mysql who is doing what (any slow query run by a human would appear as the same username)
