Subject:RDBXML connection to Oracle DB using LDAP Author:(Deleted User) Date:18 Jul 2006 11:48 AM
Our organization uses an LDAP intermediary to provide connections to Oracle databases.
Oracle file sqlnet.ora contains
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES)
Telling it to first search for a matching connection in LDAP then search in TNSNAME.ora file
I know the server and ports for the directory server but not for the DB sever. This allows the DBA staf to move things around without changing everyones TNSNAMES.ORA file.
I can create an ODBC connection to a server by providing just a name. LDAP Directory server fills in the host name, SID and port values.
How do I construct an RDBXML connection to an Oracle DB through an LDAP directory server?
