LDAP and Oracle

Is there a way to layer all of, or parts of ldap over an Oracle database?

Hi.
Did you receive any information about Oracle LDAP implementation ?
I need to know the performance, how many users are supported and any other information.
Any information will be appreciated.
Thanks.

LDAP and ORACLE 10g

I have a lot of users in my application (say 10000) and I need to access DB for each of them with there own username and password.
I store my users in a LDAP, how can I use it to authenticate these users on DB.
Will there be a problem with creation of schema for every user in my LDAP, course I don't need this?

Hi DanielD,
the first steps I would take are:
1) from the Oracle box, run
ldapsearch -D 'CN=TEST_USER,OU=HRusers,DC=ad,DC=fgfield,DC=COM' -w TEST_PASSWORD -h MY_LDAP_HOST -b "" -s base objectclass=\*
to make sure that there are no name resolution/firewall/etc issues.
If that passes, then I would use 'tail -f' on the LDAP server access log and try to authenticate in Oracle see if the BIND request is reaching the LDAP server and if the request completes without error on the LDAP side.

Very Urgent (Unique user Id scenario with Oracle LDAP and SSO)

Unique user Id scenario.
Our oracle LDAP repository is setup for customers to login from different companies. We have a requirement to integrate Oracle LDAP users with Oracle 9iAS portal 3.0.9 Single Sign On. I have two userid with same name on the LDAP from different company. For example userid jsmith from company A and jsmith from company B. Both userid do not exist on Portal Login Server. However, both userids will be created automatically in Login server when LDAP and Portal synchronize user list.
1. How oracle portal will handle such scenario when portal requires unique userid?
2. Can I customize portal login screen? For example when they login they can provide userid, passwd and domain name. Where domain name could be company name.
Let me know if you need more information. Feel free to send direct e-mail also.

Let me know if you need more information. Feel free to send direct e-mail also. The scenario you describe is one addressed by Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2's capability to support multi-company hosting. In that scenario, each company has a separate branch of users represented in the directory information tree, as you describe. In this case, both users may have cn=jsmith, but the rest of the DN provides the distinguishing domain, e.g., cn=jsmith,dc=oracle,dc=com and cn=jsmith,dc=microsoft,dc=com.
Version 3.0.9 also supported multi-company hosting, but it was only an internally used feature and one leveraged by a few early adopters. http://portal.oracle.com is one of our hosted examples of multi-company hosting on 3.0.9.
In 'hosting' mode, the login screen displays a third entry field, as you describe, allowing the company name to be specified.
For a supportable configuration, you should use Oracle9iAS Release 2 if you want to employ hosting mode. However, if you need some solution in 3.0.9, you can probably achieve something acceptable by making a slight modification to ssoxoid.pkb. I'm not entirely sure about this, because I'd have to dig into the code (which should be unwrapped, for customization such as this), but you could have users enter their names like 'jsmith@oracle' or 'jsmith@microsoft'. Then, within the ssoxldap.pkb authenticate_user function, you'd need to have the company name added to the base search base before doing the search. Then, once authenticated, the SSO server and Portal would create shadow entries which are unique 'jsmith@oracle', 'jsmith@microsoft'.
Like I say, I'm not sure if the structure of the ssoxldap.pkb file will entirely support this, but that's your best bet until you get Release 2. There will be a 'Multi-Company Hosting Cookbook' provided with Release 2 that will provide the necessary supplemental information to activate hosting mode. You should understand that setting up hosting mode takes a bit more administration than the default single company mode.
If your portal has already been running a while without the @company names then there will also be the issue of getting all the accounts already created moved over to the @company names.

Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i On Redhat 7.1

I have installed oracle 9i on SuSe 7.1 and Mandrake 8.0 successfully!!But when I want to install Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i on Redhat 7.1,it goes wrong! All installtion was successful.The last step is Link Pending and errors come~~~~:"Error in invoking target toolsinstall of make file /soft/oracle/product/9.0.1.0.0/ldap/lib/ins_ldap.mk".
See the graphic:http://211.100.12.66/oracle.htm

Go to www.oracle.com.
click on downloads in the upper right.
Select 8i Enterprise edition in the select product box.
select 8.1.7 for linux.
You should see the glibc patch on this page.
you will need a userid and password to the oracle technology network, but these are free if you do not have one.
Thanks

Replication of data from LDAP to Oracle 10g Database

Hi All,
in our application we are using Oracle Identity manager, and Oracle 10g database.
we are storing the user,profile and privilages in LDAP and due to some reason we have to create user table in the 10g database.
this user table values and LDAP user table values must be same.
here the source is LDAP and destination is Oracle.
so is there any way we can synchoronize or replicate the data from LDAP to 10g database?
since oracle identity manager is integrated with LDAP,
i feeel this must be possible.
but really dont know how?
kindly suggest me.
and if any examples available please let me know, i will be very greatful to you.
Thanks in advance

MAC OS and LDAP and Samba Server

How can I make my Mac OS authenticate against LDAP and automatically map shared by a Samba server folders? (samba domain)? The idea is that any person who is registered in the database of LDAP can log into any Mac machine and automatically access the folders stored on the Samba server.

Are you using TopLink 11g or TopLink Essentials?
You seem to be wanting to use TopLink 11g, but you have the provider set to Essentials in your persistence.xml.
<provider>oracle.toplink.essentials.PersistenceProvider</provider>
Change this to,
<provider>oracle.toplink.PersistenceProvider</provider>
The sessions-xml properties are only supported with TopLink 11g.
Note that currently in 11g when using a sessions-xml it must contain a project xml that completely defines the mappings. It will not merge with annotations nor defaults.

LDAP and OID

FYI: I am new to Oracle (<1 month), and new to APEX (<3 weeks) so forgive me if I am asking the obvious.
I would like to have APEX authenticate against LDAP (active directory), and went about trying to set that up. Got all AD settings from our sys admin, and then tried them in the LDAP test tool. I kept getting " Authentication failed!" no matter what I did. Due to the detailed nature of that error message, I started trying to track down every possible avenue so I talked to one of our DBA's about DBMS_LDAP.SIMPLE_BIND_S. The answer I got back was that we don't have access to it because it is part of OIN which we would have to pay outrageous amounts of money for if we wanted to use it. Not likely to happen, so I was hoping that there was another way to authenticate APEX via LDAP.
Any suggestions would be most helpful.

John - DBMS_LDAP is not part of OID so you can use it as part of your existing database product installation. Search this forum for LDAP and AD and you'll find lots of discussions about what you are trying to do.
Also, just to clarify, you're not trying to authenticate Application Express using AD, you'll be authenticating users to your application (essentially a PL/SQL application in the database) using account information stored in AD. The authentication code that gets executed will belong to your application.

Difference LDAP & SQL & ORACLE

Hi All
I'm currently working in a messaging environment which
includes LDAP Server and here i want to know the difference
bettween LDAP - SQL - ORACLE.
The Read access is faster in LDAP than write ? is it correct ??
& i think in SQL write access is faster that read acess ?? is it correct??
My Ques..
1) If Any body know difference between LDAP,SQL & ORACLE ?
kindly let me know ??
Thanks in Advance.

LDAP is a standard defined at IETF (RFC 4510 and associated)
It is derived from the ISO-ITU standard X.500 and has a hierarchical, object oriented model.
Sun Directory Server implements LDAP.
SQL is a query language to access relational databases.
Oracle is a company which has several products including a relational database, an LDAP server (Oracle OID).
For more details, I would suggest a simple search on the internet for "LDAP vs RDBMs". There are many well written articles available.

Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

Hi,
I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
ex:
With oracle7
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP 'CHAMP
champ1 champ2
With Oracle 9
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
champ1 champ2
So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
Thanx.

Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
Anyway,
You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
set lin 310Regards.

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,
vimal jain.

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

Christian

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Limitation on SQL executing select statement from ADO and Oracle 8.1.7.1 OleDB Driver

Hi,
we are running a query with a big dunamic select statement from VB code using ADO command object. When Execute method is called system hangs and control won't return back to the application. it seems to be that there is some type limitation on Query string length. Please tell us if there is any?
we are running Oracle 8.1.7 Server on Windows 200 Server and connecting from a W2K professional, ADO 2.6 and Oracle OLEDB 8.1.7.1 OLEDB Driver.
Sample code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New Command
With cmd
.CommandText = ' some text with more than 2500 characters
.CommandType = adCmdText
Set rs = .Execute
End With
when i debug using VB6 and when .Execute line is called system hangs or return a message method <<somemethod> of <<some class name>> failed error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anil

A stored procedure would only slow you down here if it was poorly written. I suspect you want to use the translate function. I'm cutting & pasting examples from the documentation-- a search at tahiti.oracle.com will give you all the info you'll need.
Examples
The following statement translates a license number. All letters 'ABC...Z' are translated to 'X' and all digits '012 . . . 9' are translated to '9':
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'9999999999XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') "License"
FROM DUAL;
License
9XXX999
The following statement returns a license number with the characters removed and the digits remaining:
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '0123456789')
"Translate example"
FROM DUAL;
Translate example
2229
Also, LIKE '%<string>%' is going to be rather expensive simply because it has to compare the entire string and because it forces full table scans, rather than using indexes. You could speed this sort of query up by using interMedia Text (Oracle Text now in 9i). If you can eliminate one of the '%' options, you could also improve things.
My guess is that your stored procedure is inefficient and that's causing the problem-- 5k rows per table should be pretty trivial.
If you post your query over on the PL/SQL forum, there are better performance tuners than I that might have more hints for you. To get really good advice, though, you'lllikely have to get at least the execution plan for this statement and may need to do some profiling to identify the problem areas.

New to XML and Oracle

Just trying to clarify some issues as I try and learn about XML, and specifically how it integrates into the DB.
1 - Is there a way with Oracle tools for me to get an XSD of an existing 9i relational schema? We are not currently using the XML DB, but our middleware developers would like to have an up to date XSD to use for their internal mapping.
2 - Is there any way that I can keep that XSD up-to-date automatically, so I get a new one whenever the schema gets updated?
3 - If I wanted to investigate storing XML docs within the DB in native XML format, I need to have an XML DB, correct? Is this DB construct maintained seperatelly from my "normal" relational schema? or are they kept in sync by Oracle?
I know these may all be real basic questions, but as I said, I'm new to XML and Oracle. I am reading as much as I can, but there are a lot of docs out there.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi
1. On my opinion such a tool doesn't exists. Some parts can be implemented elsewhere, but not as described by you... e.g. with XSU if you specify the parameter "withschema" the XSD of the executed statement is generated. Another example is to use DBMS_METADATA to dump the data dictionary in XML (but not XSD, of course you could write your own XSLT to do this transformation...).
2. -
3. If you use XSD-based tables the XSD and the relational model are stored separately in the data dictionary. Therefore if you change the XSD you have to drop/create the XSD-based table... no schema evolution yet.

SRM 4.0 Installation Master and Oracle Installation

Dear Members, I am trying to install SRM 4.0 in sandbox using the SRM 4.0 Installation Master DVD. The question I have is does this installation take care of Oracle Installation also or should I install Oracle 9.2 first and then use the SRM Installation Master DVD to install the SRM. I am using SRM on Linux and Oracle. Appreciate expert advice. Thanks in advance.
