Enabling your database for LDAP network connectivity

In this section we will show you how to configure your database to connect with the OID LDAP server.

From your database instance, start the "netca" (Network Configuration Assistant). Type "netca" at the command prompt.

Example:

# netca

On the screen that comes up select "Directory Usage Configuration" and then click the "Next" button.

On the next screen select "Oracle Internet Directory" as the "Directory Type" and then click the "Next" button.

On the next screen enter the FQDN of the OID server and the port number that OID is running on.

It is important to note here that the netca program will attempt to make an anonymous connection with the OID server to discover the default Oracle Context in OID. By default OID allows anonymous connections but if you have turned off anonymous user connectivity for OID you will need to temporarily enable it to allow for this discovery.

On the next screen select the user context in OID for the realm of users you want to connect to the database.

On the next screen you should see a message the reads "Directory usage configuration complete". Click the next button. On the next screen click the "finish" button.

Database network connectivity to the LDAP server is now complete.

Watch a viewlet to see how its done.
