Behavior of ldap.ora in SQLDeveloper

We currently moved over our OID Oracle Name Server to a standard Oracle DSEE LDAP instance for consolidation purposes.
With this move, there are issues with how SQLDeveloper configured to use LDAP connectivity behaves...
A search is done to the root of the LDAP instance looking for all "objectclass=orclContect" like so:
Logs show: SRCH base="" scope=2 filter="(objectClass=orclContext)" attrs="cn dn"
From my research, you can't run a rootdse search and sub to it's suffixes... at least without some hacking.
Now on the SQLDeveloper side, we have the correct DN for where these searches should be happening listed under "DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT"
Should we be seeing a search under the base defined under "DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT"?
From the documentation located here I'd think so: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28317/ldap.htm
"Use the DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT parameter to specify the default directory entry that contains an Oracle Context from which connect identifiers can be created, modified, or looked up."
Any ideas folks?

Hi rdwalker,
Currently in SQLDeveloper we only support OID. Feature Request is
"Retrieve Oracle connection from a LDAP other than the Oracle OID."
If you want to vote on it (also name the LDAP software being used).
SQL*Net allows LDAP connections via custom url which can be entered via SQLDeveloper connection type: Advanced -> Custom JDBC URL

LDAP.ORA not recognized / TNS_ADMIN Variable ignored ?

Hello,
I am trying to set up SQLDeveloper on Citrix (W2K3).
It works fine, but there is one issue I can't resolve.
==> The setting of TNS_ADMIN is consequently ignored.
I placed the LDAP.ORA file in the directory where TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA are located.
TNSPING works fine then. (Tried a database given in TNSNAMES and one listed in OID, both worked).
When staring SQLDeveloper from the same shaell where TNS_ADMIN is set, it will list the databases which are in the TNSNAMES.ORA, but it will not show any OID-Server listed in the LDAP.ORA file.
The LDAP.ORA-File is only recognized when I place it in the directory %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin.
For me this is just a workaround, because the files have to be in the same directory, otherwise it is not maintainable.
Does anyone have any comments on this?
Is it a bug, a feature, or do I miss something?
Any help is very welcome!
Thank you
Carsten

No, the LDAP.ora file is not currently used when creating LDAP connections. An oversight on our part and hence a bug. We have it logged.

How to configure ldap.ora with multiple ldap contexts

Hello.
My company has recently taken on another environment with it's own LDAP configuration. It's a bit tedious to have to keep switching my ldap.ora for both ldap configurations. Are there any good suggestions for either allowing me to search both LDAP configurations (2 separate LDAP setups, with 2 default context)? Or is there a smooth way to populate 1 LDAP with the others data? Or perhaps some form of redirect on one LDAP to the other LDAP server for queries?
Some basic info: LDAP is Oracle OID version 10gR2
Please let me know if you have any useful ideas...

Hi,
Here is the of OVD benefits :
1-Easy to setup and manage via our Management client; 2-Unifies multiple directories into a single access point; 3-Normalize and Unify multiple directories; 4-Directly accesses remote repositories;
5-Allows a unified view of an entry using data from multiple repositories;6-Can act as an LDAP proxy and firewall;
Why you can not use OVD to improve these? Read, LDAP to the other LDAP server for queries, allowing you to search both LDAP?
I hope this helps.

Could you be more specific about the error you receive.
Have you checked the logfiles?

Ldap.ora

Hello,
I need to setup an ldap with Oracle v.10g. I read that sqlnet.ora and ldap.ora files are used.
Where theses files must be located, on the client or on the server?
Has somebody examples of theses two files?
Thanks in advance for your help
Fabrice

What version and edition of Oracle?
Whose LDAP service?
The ldap.ora file and its parameters are covered in the Net Services reference manual while the basic information for the feature is in the Net Services Administrator's Guide.
If Windows then there are "Platform Guide for Microsoft Windows (32 bit)" and for x64 guides.

Connect with ldap.ora and sqlnet.ora

Hi
I am trying to connect Raptor to 9i oracle server. Our server connects using ldap.ora and sqlnet.ora files. I looked at some threads about this issue but do not understand how to connect. Is there a step by step instruction for connecting this way?
Thanks
DH

Hi VRamirez,
That's a pretty cool workaround. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work perfectly.
Here is the "low tech" workaround anyone can use -
From the %ORACLE_HOME% where your sqlnet.ora is, run %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\tnsping eg.
C:\> tnsping oracle.world

Now copy the (DESCRIPTION=...) and paste it into the advanced TNS info tab in the Connections dialog. This works for me for everything but RAC TNS aliases which have load balancing and failover configured -- the advanced TNS info tab chokes on those. For such connections, I was able to use the JDBC string.

Linked Servers - Sql server 2005 to connect to Oracle 11g using ldap.ora instead of tnsnames.ora

We have a SQL Server 2005 64bit box that needs a linked server created to Oracle 11g 64bit box. I have all the Oracle client software installed and can successfully connect to the Oracle database using SQL+ on the SQL Server 2005 64bit box. When I create
the linked server and select the OraOledb.Oracle provider, I get the TNSNames error. The Oracle server does not use tnsnames.ora it uses OLAP.ora to resolve. How do I get Linked server to stop trying to connect via TNSNames and use the OLAP.ora file instead?
I can't find any articles for this specific issues. All Oracle examples tell you to use TNSNAMES. The Oracle server is not under my companies control so I can not force the vendor to use tnsnames instead of OLAP.

Hi,
Have you got a resolution?
Thank you.

Error ORA-12154 trying to connect with instant client 11g / LDAP on Ubuntu

Hello,
I have successfully installed instant client 11.2.0.2 and sqlplus on my Ubuntu 11.04 workstation. I am able to successfully connect to DB's defined in tnsnames.ora, but when the resolution is (or should be) by LDAP, I get error
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Note: while it's fine for testing, it's not a viable option to setup all the DB's defined in the OID in tnsnames.ora - I need to use LDAP.
My setup is as follows:
Install folder: /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
TNS_ADMIN=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2/
sqlnet.ora
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES,LDAP)
I am certain that tnsnames.ora and ldap.ora are valid, as I can connect successfully on another machine with the full client installed using the same files.
I tried to setup tracing in sqlnet.ora as follows
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = SUPPORT
TRACE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT = /tmp
TRACE_FILE_CLIENT = sqlnet.trc
but not trace file gets generated in /tmp - am I doing something wrong ? (Note, I also tried to set DIAG_ADR_ENABLED=OFF as suggested by Laurenz Albe in Instant client don't work trace but that did not help)
I checked DocID=359206.1 but I don't think that applies as I'm on 11g.
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance !

rgoold, you are a star ! I should have thought about line endings of course. Many thanks for your suggestion, that fixed the problem.

Timeouts while using LDAP and TNSNAMES for names resolving

I use an OID for Oracle Names resolving at the client-side.
I tested some errorcases because there are no HA-features implemented for the OID.
So i have an LDAP.ORA with the adress and the ports of the OID.
My SQLNET.ORA has this content:
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = <my_company_domian>
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES)So actually there is no problem. But when i turn off the OID-Server there iss a timeout of about 20 second to resolve the name.
So my problem is not the resolving. I only want to know if there is a possibility to minimize the timeout to switch between LDAP-name-resolving to tnsnames.ora-name-resolving?

thanks Oviwan but i think this problem couldn't be solved with a parameter.
@rgoogld:
I already feared that i have to live with that timeout.
But your options are interesting. In the future i will have 2 OIDs and in the first time the TNSNAMES.ORA-names-resolving as backup.
I already can test this because i have a productive OID and one for test-purposes. So at the moment i have two OIDs listet in my LDAP.ORA.
example:
DIRECTORY_SERVERS = (<server_name_oid1>:<Port1>:<Port2>, <server_name_oid2>:<Port1>:<Port2>)
DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT = ""
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE = OIDThere is already a (about 20 seconds) timeout, when the OID1 is powered down or the services are stopped. The client honestly ask the second OID after the "timeout" and resolve the name.
2 OIDs+TNSNAMS or 1 OID+TNSNAMES in both cases your options could perhaps prevent the timeout. I'm not really a system administrator, but i can discuss it with my colleagues here.
Do you know a smart way to remove or repoint an DNS-entry in a windows enviroment. For such actions i have also to monitor the status of the OID-services or the servers and make the dns-changes if something is crashed.
At this moment i have no idea how to do this but perhaps you or someone else here have some tips for me.

SQLDeveloper 3.0 production is supplied with the thin driver 11.2.0.2
it needs 11.2.0.2 version to use thick which has a few additional features over thin.
To avoid confusion with other Oracle software you can set the ORACLE_HOME in the session you start sqldeveloper in as described below:
The version mismatch is often because SQLDeveloper is trying to use the 'thick' driver and 11.2.0.2 thick is not available,
try
thin by:
1/(uncheck Tools->preferences->Datababae->advanced->use OCI/thick driver, and
2/If necessary, set ORACLE_HOME for your cmd.exe session where sqldev is started from to where sqldeveloper is where %ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib exists, (so SQLDeveloper does not try your existing ORACLE_HOME) and
3/If using connection type TNS, use Connection Type TNS -> Network Alias.
4/You may need to set Tools->preferences->Datababase->advanced->Tnsname directory to the directory containing tnsnames.ora

SQL Developer 4.0 EA2 -- Cannot use OpenLDAP with LDAP connect option

Hi,
I've got OpenLDAP setup to work with my Oracle clients, to serve up TNS connect strings, in lieu of having tnsnames.ora files scattered about hundreds of servers.
This is working fine with 10g/11g, both full and instant clients, no problem.
Now, I'm trying to configure SQL Developer 4.0 EA2 working with it, as well.
When I attempt to do so, I'm able to select the "LDAP" option in "Connection Type", and the "LDAP Server" drop down list is correctly populated with my LDAP server, from ldap.ora.
However, when I select it, I get the following error:
Status : Failure -[LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]
Now, I've done some research, and I monitored the slapd.log file, which shows me the following:
Sep 18 02:43:35 einstein slapd[2779]: conn=1034 fd=16 ACCEPT from IP=192.168.125.1:63781 (IP=0.0.0.0:389)
Sep 18 02:43:35 einstein slapd[2779]: conn=1034 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128
Sep 18 02:43:35 einstein slapd[2779]: conn=1034 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text=
Sep 18 02:43:35 einstein slapd[2779]: conn=1034 op=1 SRCH base="" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(objectClass=orclContext)"
Sep 18 02:43:35 einstein slapd[2779]: conn=1034 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=32 nentries=0 text=
Sep 18 02:43:35 einstein slapd[2779]: conn=1034 op=2 UNBIND
Sep 18 02:43:35 einstein slapd[2779]: conn=1034 fd=16 closed
Which is a lot more detail, but reflects the corresponding error code, (32 - No Such Object).
After doing some testing with ldapsearch, I've been able to replicate what SQL Developer is doing, and get the exact same error.
That ldapsearch command is:
ldapsearch -h einstein -p 389 -c -x -D "" -b "" "(objectClass=orclContext)"
Looking in the slapd.log file, I find an identical error to what is produced from SQL Developer.
Further, the query that SQL Developer wants to do can be successfully done with the following ldapsearch:
ldapsearch -h einstein -p 389 -c -x -D "" -b "dc=proquest,dc=com" "(objectClass=orclContext)"
So, it seems the problem is with the fact that SQL Developer is not supplying a search base.
I'm no LDAP expert, and I'm really not sure where to turn next....
Is there a SQL Developer option that allows me to set that search base? Is there a configuration I'm missing on the LDAP server configuration?
Thanks,
-Mark

Well, that didn't take long. I managed to find a solution to the problem.
It comes down to the fact that SQL Developer doesn't supply a search base, and my LDAP server didn't have a default search base defined.
When I edited slapd.conf (the OpenLDAP config file) and added a "defaultsearchbase" parameter, and bounced the LDAP server, everything started to work.
I now have a working configuration with OpenLDAP and SQL Developer.
I'll mark this discussion as closed.

When do we use Oracle LDAP ?

Version: 11.2.0.3 on RHEL 5.8
I have used tnsnames.ora file and easyConnect to connect to the DB.
Recently , I came across Oracle LDAP which uses $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/ldap.ora .
What kind of applications use Oracle LDAP to connect to a DB ?
Why do we even need Oracle LDAP mechanism when we had tnsnames.ora file for DB Name resolving ?

Hi Ken,
Generally it's used for 'large' sites where there are a large number of databases and a large number of clients. Rather than everyone having a copy of the tnsnames files that is somehow kept up to date on lots of servers and clients you can store the tnsnames entries in ldap (OID or microsoft AD). Then it's stored in one central place that everyone queries, a change then is made centrally and picked up by everyone immediately - making a large estate much easier to manage.
It is also needed for 'enterprise user security' (again using oid) - here users are stored in a central directory and referenced from each database in the estate. You change the password for you username in the directory and that password is then 'updated' for every database (without having to go an alter user on every single system - each database looks in oid to validate the username and work out what rights it should have) - it's very powerful stuff for large estates and makes things much easier to manage.
For small systems though it will probably never be required.
Cheers,
Harry

Cannot figure jdbc connection string using LDAP to lookup db

I found only one example of this
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://ldap.acme.com:7777/sales,cn=OracleContext,dc=com"
My ldap.ora file has this in it:
DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT = "dc=ba,dc=ssa,dc=gov"
DIRECTORY_SERVERS= (s07a29b.ba.ssa.gov:389:636,s1pta34.ba.ssa.gov:389:636,r24300a.ba.ssa.gov:389:636)
My db is ismarts1
I've tried all variations I can think of and cannot get it to work. Most obvious would be this:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://s078a9b.ba.ssa.gov:389:636/ismarts1,dc=ba,dc=ssa,dc=gov
but it is not working...
I don't get the 2 port numbers (if that's what they are) in the ldap.ora list of servers.

You've confirmed that it works in sql*plus?
The typical format of the url is
jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://[host]:[port]/[database],cn=OracleContext,[dc=...,dc=...]In your case, you might try
jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://s078a9b.ba.ssa.gov:389/ismarts1,cn=OracleContext,dc=ba,dc=ssa,dc=govSince you do have multiple ldap servers configured, you can also specify more than one in the url separated by a space.
jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://s078a9b.ba.ssa.gov:389/ismarts1,cn=OracleContext,dc=ba,dc=ssa,dc=gov ldap://s1pta34.ba.ssa.gov:389/ismarts1,cn=OracleContext,dc=ba,dc=ssa,dc=govThe 2 port numbers specify the ports ldap listens on, the first being non-ssl and the second being ssl.

Workaround: Oracle Networking - LDAP export to TNSNAMES

Just posting a workaround to another silly problem:
With Oracle10g, ONames is no longer supported. A reasonable alternative is to LDAP using OiD.
In the docco, Oracle describes a method to export and import between OID and TNSNAMES.ORA. Specifically at Exporting Directory Naming Entries to a tnsnames.ora File Oracle shows how to do this using Enterprise Manager console.
However, as noted in Metalink Note 363283.1 "What Is The Search Order For The LDAP.ORA File ?", the LDAP.ORA file has been bouncing between ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin
When attempting the steps in the referenced document, you might find that trying to access the Directory Administration fails (absolutely refuses to proceed) - because the installation puts the LDAP.ORA in one directory, and the Enterprise Manager expects it on the other.
The Enterprise Manager expects the file in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin - even if that location breaks other operations.
Workaround ... copy the LDAP.ORA to both locations and keep them in sync manually.
<heavy sigh/>

Assuming *nix, I have not problem with this.
I'm not quite comfortable with Windows shortcuts as a 100% replacement to links.
