Oid service name resolution

I have setup LDAP multimaster Replication between two oid hosts : oid1 and oid2 . Service names are resolved from oid1 baut not from oid2 . Where can be a problem ? Replication between oid is working as expected .

When you mentioned:
"Service names are resolved from oid1 baut not from oid2 " . You mean you are doing for example ldapbind on oid1 is working and the same ldapbind on oid2 is not? If so, did you check if oid2 has different ports or if have for example one OVD against it to get these binds? Can you give me more details on this , so I ca try to help here?
thanks in advance,
Thiago Leoncio.

Migrating OID service names

Hi all,
I am new to this OID.
We are currently using 9i OID and we are upgrading our infrastructure and moving all databases to 10g.
We use OID only for tnsnames resolution.
I have installed 10gR3 AS infrastructure for OID.
can someone please provide me instructions on how we move OID service name entries from one version to another.
i had a look at the oracle support [ID 251776.1] and it doesnt seems to be clear for a newbie like me.
Thanks
BS

In case if any one has been with the same problems
the easiest way to do is to install jxplorer and export as LDIF file and then remove unnecessary attributes and import

What is the benefit in using OID for names resolution?

I have been wondering about this for awhile. I have been working on getting this to work in Iplanet along with Pat Lehane ([email protected]), and it works now.
What are the benefits in using OID for names resolution when you can just use the static tnsnames.ora. Database and database names are not created dynamically and they don't change that often. Would creates a new database every day and has to worry about changing the static tnsnames.ora file. In my environment, we run Oracle applications from a server, so there is only one tnsnames.ora file, on the file server.
It would appear that using OID would cause extra traffic (LDAP lookups) on your network.
I would like some opinions from both Oracle and Oracle users. Thanks

hi,
A benefit of using OID for names resolution is that it allows you to centralize net8 naming (i.e., tnsnames) information in the same place (OID) where other types of administrative information (about users, enterprise groups, enterprise roles, etc) gets stored. If you are more comfortable using tnsnames.ora files for net8 naming, that is perfectly fine!
An important reason that Oracle had for providing Net8 naming functionality in OID is that the legacy 'Oracle Names' functionality of Oracle 7 will eventually be desupported. This is discussed in metalink Note #135696.1 on http://metalink.oracle.com .
Hope this helps.

1.1.0.21.97 : The OID based name resolution still not working..

I downloaded (1.1.0.21.97). I still get error loading in native JDBC driver library when trying to open connection to 9.2.0.7 database using our OID based name resolution.

Thanks Kris for speedy ack.
Will be looking forward anxiously for the fix as our organizaiton has OID based name resolution implemented, and for general public, I donot want to know about the database location details.

Database name resolution OID

Hi,
I'm a newbie on OID matter. I understood, to have database names resolution in a central place, the only way to go is OID.
Before 10G you had oracle names, after that OID must be used.
OID (latest version) consists of LDAP services and a OID repository (oracle database).
My question is, can a database name still be resolved if the OID repository is down.
Thanks,
Frank

OID should be up to resolve SID. You would need setup LDAP failover solution or tnsnnames.ora for fallback.

LDAP(iPlanet & OID) Net Service Names

Hi There,
Is it possible to use iPlanet's LDAP for net service names lookup instaed of Oracle Names?
Is there a way to extract the schema in OID and import into iPlanet ldap. If this could be done then NET8 should be able to connect to the directory server. Why I say this is: according to Oracle documentation, Net8 supports directory naming:
"Service addresses and net service names can be stored in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-compliant directory server."
Has anyone done this?.
With the release of Orcale 9i Oracle is due to ship a product called Oracle Names LDAP Proxy. Is there any information on this product.
All comments and suggestions are very welcome and appreciated
Regards
Pat Lehane

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the reply.
I installed NET 8.1.7 and am trying to connect to iPlanet LDAP through NET8 Configuration Assitant to create an Oracle schema in the in the iPlanet Directory Server but I get an error as follows:
configexception: Could not create Oracle schema:oracle.net.config.ConfigException
You must update the schema from a computer which directly supports your type of directory
There are still only three options in the directory server type in NET8 config assitant.
Is there another way of creating the schema in iPlanet or is there some steps to be done in iPlanet first.
Regards
Pat

How to use DNS server for name resolution for items which don't exist in active directory domain controller DNS

Dear Experts,
In our office we have a domain controller call it 'Office.com', all computers and corporate servers e.g. exchange, antivirus etc. are member of this 'office.com', it is also having a DNS. All users in office have there preferred DNS set to the corporate
DNS
We are working for ministry and offering services to them from our data center so have many servers which are for ministry but they are in our data center. For all these servers we created another DNS server which contains all entries for these servers in
forward and reverse lookup zones. In this DNS we also created a forward lookup zone for our corporate servers and zone name is 'office.com'
What we are trying to have is name resolution of all servers which are listed in other DNS build in our office on Win 2008 R2 for ministry servers
If the user change his preferred DNS to ministry DNS he can resolve the ministry server but then we can not control any thing through group policy since they are using other DNS and not the corporate DNS.
How this can be done ? like any group policy applied to corporate domain controller must take effect on users and in addition to this user must also be able to resolve server names in ministry project DNS
Please assist ASAP.
regards,

Hello,
ok so the GPO setting doesn't apply in any case.
Clients machines use the first DNS server in the list of configured ones on the NIC. If that one is available search for additional DNS servers will stop.
What i can not really understand is your description about the second DNS server. This should normally either another DC with AD integrated DNS, so everything is replicatedwithin AD replication or you use a secondary DNS on domain member server that pulls
the informations from the Master.
It sounds for me that you have configured a machine with DNS server role and created manually the zone with the same name as the domainand manually create there the required A records?

Can't start Peer Name Resolution Protocol

I can't start the service 'Peer Name Resolution Protocol' which is required for HomeGroups.
There are 3 Peer services on my machine. One is running (Peer Networking Identity Manager). The other one (Peer Networking Grouping) is not because it depends on 'Peer Name Resolution Protocol' which fails to start.
Both Homegroup services are started and I have IPV6 enabled on my NIC and in my LAN properties.
The event log has this:
'The Peer Name Resolution Protocol cloud did not start because the creation of the default identity failed with error code: 0x80630801.'
Using the Event ID web search it leads me to this:
Event ID 102 â€” PNRP Protocol
I tried what they suggested (it's for Vista) but to no avail. Perhaps some Permission got borked. Is there a way to recreate the RSA folder and sub-folders with correct Permissions or perhaps it's some other type of problem?
I do notice I have a lot of entries in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys"
Any help in getting this Service started will be appreciated.

Hi,
This issue can occur by corrupted PNRP service. You can perform the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Please download the correct Network Connection registry file from the link below:
http://cid-6df3bca839e981ef.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/PRNP.txt
2. There will be the PRNP.txt file. Please right click it and rename it to PRNP.reg file.
3. Double click the PRNP.reg file and click Yes to import the file.
Note: To avoid unexpected situation, please back up the computer registry before importing the registry file.
4. Then, please verify the Peer Name Resolution Protocol service and other failure service again.
a. Click "Start", go to run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and press Enter.
Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
b. Right click the "Peer Name Resolution Protocol" service and choose Properties.
c. Click on the "Log On" tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.
d. Click on the "General" tab; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.
e. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.
f. Click OK.
What's the result?
If the issue persists, please also perform the suggestions from the following article.

Resolve database service name using in SQL

Hi all!
My question is:
Is it possible to resolve database service name (e.g. TNS) from SQL only (without logging into the server with oracle user and execute tnsping)?
I'll give you a bit background about my question:
In DataGuard, if you query v$archive_dest, you can see the SERVICE NAME of the standby database in the STANDBY records. I would like to know what is the real server name and database instance of the standby database.
I don't want to login to the primary server with oracle user (let's say that I can not - it's a program really, not me...).
Let's also say that the only user I have is a read-only user to the database (with grants to all tables and views, but cannot execute privileged DBMS sys packages).
Running "SQL> host tnsping NAME" doesn't do the job, since this is only for SQL plus.
Doe's anyone have any idea? maybe v$ view that contains the TNS resolution (tried to find, no success)? maybe a tnsping alike command/function?
Thanks a lot!

I'll explain the reason.
I'm working on an agentless product that connects to databases, storage and hosts, and models them into a small CMDB.
Since my product needs to model the "STANDBY" relationship between primary and standby DataGuard databases - I need to be able to resolve the value of the "DESTINATION" field from "V$ARCHIVE_DEST", where TARGET IN ('STANDBY','REMOTE').
I could login to the server and execute "tnsping DBNAME", but the problem is that when a server has more than one ORACLE_HOME (hence, more than one tnsname.ora file), I need to make sure that the user I'm using to login to the server has all environment variables conigured properly for each database installed on the server (BTW, the unix user is also a "naked" user with no privileges except the sudo's defined for it).
So I assume that the best way to be sure that the environment variables are correctly defined is when I login to the database.
This is the reason I need to resolve service names using SQL.
BTW, the database process somehow uses the Oracle Net Services to resolve the same value when it sends the redo log files to the standby server - and I'd like to resolve it the same way (or other, if not possible). If it uses the sys privileges, and it executes the package that lets you execute something on the server ("tnsping", in this case), and this is the only way it can be done - I need to start thinking on a different way to resolve the problem.What you are missing is that when "the database process somehow uses the Oracle Net Services to resolve the same value when it sends the redo . . ." is that Net services is NOT just resolving the name for the database. It is also handling the actual transport of the files. That name resolution is not passed back to the database.

MSDAORA,IIS,ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

Hi All,
I have a Web Service that coded in VS2008, using ORACLE DB(9i).
At a time the application working fine and I can access and do everything with database.
Some other time database server is down for scheduled maintenance. If I try to run the application at this point of time it will raise err "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name".
When i reset iis it start to work fine for a while.Then same problem occurs again.
My connection string is connectionString="provider=MSDAORA.1;data source=***;user id=***;password=***;"
is there any solution?
i tried that;
If theire is multiple copies of OCIW32.dll you have to make sure that there is only one copy of OCIW32.dll which should be in /Bin folder of the oracle home folder.
Add the IUSR_machine name account and the IWAM_machine name account to the Oracle home folder. Give both accounts full control.
Create empty file tnsnames.ora in same directory as aspnet_wp.exe,

Hi,
The issue doesnt make much sense on the surface at least. 12154 means the client couldnt figure out what you were referring to with your Data Source= entry. If the database was taken down, I'd expect an "oracle not available" or some other sort of error, as the client should have still be able to resolve the entry at least, even if the database wasnt up at the time.
What do you mean by "When i reset iis it start to work fine for a while.Then same problem occurs again."? The same problem meaning you get 12154 when you take the database down? Or you get 12154 without a db restart?
Are you using TNSNames.ora for client naming resolution, or something else (ldap, for example)?

Enabling Firewall breaks Bonjour name resolution (and other problems)

Hi there, I thought I had a simple setup but trying to enable VPN & Firewall has shown me there are some issues I need help with:
Setup: MacOS X Server 10.5.8 on MacPro
- Machine is Mobile Account Server for 5 other machines connected to network
- DHCP is obtained from Router in 10.1.10.x range. Server hardcodes its IP in that range (outside of DHCP addressable range)
- Services running are: AFP, Open Directory, SMB, Software Update
- All client workstations connect to server using "servername.local"
This has all been working fine. However over the weekend I tried enabling VPN as we have a public IP address we can use. VPN works fine except:
a) Plugging an additional ethernet cable into port 2, and configuring that port to have the external "public" IP information caused the "license in use issue" that has been reported here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9958588&tstart=0) so I had to use the solution of duplicating the existing ethernet config and entering the additional external IP to run both off the same port.
b) I can't get L2TP working, but I can get P2PP. Seems like other people are having similar issues (http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=9704644)
But anyway, so I have P2PP VPN working and without a firewall previous functionality hasn't been impacted. Now of course, I'd be silly to leave this machine with the Firewall turned off as it is now a sitting duck out on the inter-tubes.
I thus enabled the Firewall service with these settings:
- Any service: Allow only traffic from "any" to these ports: (I enabled the ports for P2PP and L2TP)
- 10-net: Allow all traffic from "10-net"
This I assume would restrict access from the external interface, but let all internal subnet communication be unrestricted (like it was before I enabled the firewall). However this doesn't seem to be the case. I noticed that simple non-VPN connections to AFP service took a long time to happen using "afp://servername.local", several minutes before the authentication dialog appeared.
Furthermore if I brought up "Software Update" on a managed client set to pull from "servername.local:8088", the connection would fail.
If I disabled the firewall service, the slowdown and local Software Update would work fine.
But if I try setting: "Allow all traffic from 'any'" on the Firewall (which should be almost like turning it of) it doesn't have a positive effect and slowdown of name resolution and failure to connect to local software update still occurred.
Is there something in the Firewall being enabled that breaks Bonjour name resolution? Anyway to enable the Firewall and still keep Bonjour .local name resolution? Does this problem have anything to do with issue (a) we have to work-around?
Thanks for any recommendations,
Matt

Hi Fer!
Thanks for your tip about trying a different user - it didn't work, but it got me thinking
I tried my daughter's new MB Pro with ML, and it worked flawlessly. So, thoroughly ****** off, I wasn't going to give up easily - I got out my Wireshark and started digging. After a few hours I came up with several handy tips, a couple of which fixed my problems. Here they are, copied from the blog I keep (to remember stuff like this). With any luck, they will save others some of the time we wasted.
Thanks again for your help and inspiration!
I’ve been incredibly frustrated by how poorly DNS resolves since upgrading first to Lion, then later to Mountain Lion (on a new machine, but migrating my old files). The impact of this was particularly bad connecting to SMB/CIFS/Samba shares – some would mount after several minutes, others not at all.
Early on it became clear the problems were related to my router (DDWRT) not supporting IPv6 but then neither does my ISP. Here are a few things to try:
DNS Resolver Order
Normally /etc/hosts is first in line for DNS resolution. But it seems improper line termination, presumably a carriage return/linefeed instead of just a linefeed, causes all sorts of problems. Many posts describe ways to force reloading of the hosts file, but the root cause seems to be improper line termination. Always make sure you use a Unix compatible editor.
To check the order resolvers are called:
scutil --dns
/etc/hosts Entries
These two were the main source of my problems:
1. My host has multiple names – these must all be present, and fully qualified:
127.0.0.1 hosta hosta.foo.com 127.0.0.1 hostb hostb.foo.com
2. All localhost entries must have ::1 entries too, or OS X will send IPv6 requests to resolve them externally. And this despite IPv6 being disabled on the interface!
::1 hosta hosta.foo.com ::1 hostb hostb.foo.com
Turn off IPv6 in Network Preferences
Go to System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP. In the Configure IPv6 list, you may have an “Off” option. If so, select it. If not, see next tip.
Turn off IPv6 from Terminal
List available network services:
networksetup -listallnetworkservices
Turn off IPv6 on chosen device (name from above list):
networksetup -setv6off your_device_name (i.e. Wi-Fi, Ethernet)
Now the Configure IPv6 list for that device will show “Off” (see previous tip).
MobileMe Remnants
Apparently older OS X installations migrated to newer releases may still have hooks to no-longer existant MobileMe servers. Many users report that removing these greatly speeds up SMB connection. The following removes those references if present and are harmless if not.
defaults delete -g iToolsMemberDomain defaults delete -g iToolsMember

Lync Server 2013 Edge Server NetBios name resolution

We are working on a lync deployment in a very secure environment where we have Lync edge server deployed, in order to enable ports and traffic between the remote users and the edge servers and vice-versa there is a security vulnerability scan done that has
shown NetBios name resolution a security threat.
I just wanted to know if there is any guidence on NetBios name resolution for Lync Edge Servers. Can we disable NetBios services on the edge servers and what could be the possible issues if any?

My 2 cents worth..
The Edge server is best suited as a non domain member, all communication with the Edge Server both from the Lync Front Ends and the clients is by means of the DNS name. There are no Lync related services (from my knowledge) that require\use NetBIOS when
communication from or to the Edge Servers. I have disabled NetBIOS on Edge just recently for similar reasons and am yet to be notified of any issues.
