Oracle SQL Developer && LDAP Connection
662586Sep 30 2008 — edited Oct 28 2008Hello!
I've configured openldap to store information from tnsnames.ora.
See http://oracle-cookies.blogspot.com/2007/01/get-tnsnamesora-from-openldap.html for details.
Then I configured Naming Methods via netca as follows:
olimpico_work ~ # cat /usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: /usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES)
olimpico_work ~ #
This is my ldap.ora file:
olimpico_work ~ # cat /usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/network/admin/ldap.ora
DIRECTORY_SERVERS = (develop2:389:636)
DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT = "dc=itfits,dc=biz"
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE = OID
olimpico_work ~ #
As shown below tnsping works fine:
olimpico_work ~ # tnsping sumtel_fake

The problem lies in that I can't create LDAP connection in Oracle SQL Developer.
Doc says that sql developer should load entries from ldap.ora (http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/08-may/o38sql.html).
However, I found that it even doesn't read ldap.ora file (I'm sure since I traced sqldeveloper via "strace" utility).
How to get it work?
Any ideas?
Thank you beforehand!
P.S.
I'm using the latest Gentoo Linux with kernel 2.6.22.
The version of Oracle installed is 10.2.0.1.0.
The version of Oracle SQL developer is 1.5.1.54.40.
