Odisrvmgr problems : 9iAS Rel2 install / patch

Question

Trying to run through the hundred of steps listed in 9iAS Rel2 Interoperability patch (for infrastructure instance). An OiD patch says I need to
> oidmon start
> oidctl server=oidldapd instance=1 start
> odisrvreg -h <host> -p <oid_port> -D "cn=orcladmin" -w superuser_pswd
For the odisrvreg stuff, I entered
> odisrvreg -h host.domain -p 4032 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w welcome
after spending an hour looking for superuser pswd and finding post in this forum that says it is welcome.
All I get is a message saying LDAP Connection Failed.
- Is welcome the real default pswd for oid superuser (which why didn't it specify password in install docs)
- Is 4032 the correct default port. portlist file say that it is for Non-SSL. If I specify 4031 then command just never returns control at all.
- what is this doing and supposed to do
Thanks for any help.

I don't know anything about 9iAS interoperability with ldap, but I can tell you a few things about the LDAP server:
try specifying connect=<net_service_name> in your oid commands, with <net_service_name> being the service name of your database.
Sth like:
oidmon connect=mydb start(this should return a message that the monitor actually started, on some platforms that doesn't happen if you don't specify the connect parameter)
oidctl connect=mydb server=oidldapd instance=1 start If you didn't change anything about your ldap configuration, this starts an ldap server instance at port 389. You could verify this by using netstat (netstat -ln on linux). Maybe you should also check if there's no other ldap service listening at that port before you enter the oidctl command. If that would be the case, maybe you should shut down the other ldap temporarily.
Since the default port is 389, this means you should use the following:
odisrvreg -h host.domain -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w welcome The default superuser username/passwords are indeed correct.
