Hi Shayz,
Hehe - I know what you mean about admins! It might be worth asking - the worst they can do is say no, so if they do, at least you know where you stand.
SharePoint is able to accept authentication from external claims providers, such as Oracle - I would do a search on google for this? One article I've come across which might be worth a look is http://sharepoint-community.net/profiles/blogs/external-authentication-providers-for-sharepoint-2010-oracle-su-1; I would say that this is probably the key bit that you need to get sorted first, before looking at anything else. Otherwise I suspect that no matter what you do, you will always have the credential challenge problem...!
