How to integrate ldap (RedHat Directory Server) with Oracle
Marco V.Jan 11 2010 — edited Jan 13 2010In my company I have a ldap (RedHat Directory Server) server and I should authenticate some database users with that ldap;
I gathered some informations on oracle forums and then tried to set up the so called "Enterprise User Security" ( [http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/database-security/howtos/eus-how-to.html] )
Is it normal the using netca at step 2 as Directory Type the only option available is OID?
After clicking Next at step 3 I obtain an error:

Reading from this oracle doc [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e10836/naming.htm#i479443]
this error usually occurs in the following situations:
- No Oracle Context exists in the directory. The Oracle Internet Directory installer or other Oracle Internet Directory tool should be used to create an Oracle Context.
What does it mean ?
How can I create an Oracle Context ?
Is there something I'm missing?
