Authenticate to eDirectory via OID server chaining (No sychronizing)
Has anyone (or is it possible ) to do the following:
connect to an Oracle DB that is setup to use OID (oracle LDAP), which in turn routes the query (via server chaining) to eDirectory.
So in other words the user does not reside in OID the user resides in eDirectory, and OID's function is to just pass the request on.
I have achieved most of the above, in fact if I use another client EG: ldapbind or ldapsearch, I can bind to OID as a user that only exists in eDirectory, but doing it through sqlplus I get:
" ORA-28274: No ORACLE password attribute corresponding to user nickname exists" , which seems like OID has alot more classes that dont exist in eDirectory, but which are they and how do I get them in eDirectory, and will it even work?
Basically, I want to have the Oracle database to use eDirectory as its source of authentication, it seems I will probabaly need OID, but I DONT want to synchronise OID and eDirectory.
I thought thats what server chaining was all about, and hey it works from standard LDAP clients, just not from Oracle.
Please help!
thanks
