Stefan Jahnke and Denis Williams have recently posted recipe for replacing OiD with OpenLDAP. The road runner page is no longer accessible. Does anybody have a copy? If so, please publish the location, because I'm trying it right now. Please, if anybody has that page, post it again or forward it privately. Thanks in advance. The message I'm talking about is below.

Congratulations Stefan!

   Thanks for posting this.
Do you (or anyone else) have any ideas for doing this with Micro$oft Active Directory?

Hi list

Some people where interested in feedback regarding the usage of OpenLDAP instead of OID or Names to resolve TNS strings. Seems to work ;). Here is what to do:

Prerequisite: I used openldap-2.0.23 instead of 2.1, since I had to use CygWin to test it locally on my laptop.

Bill of materials:

CygWin http://www.cygwin.com, I used the latest version, 1.5.2-1test

Oracle Client, version >= 8.1.6.x

OID LDIFS, can be taken from $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin, if the OID option is installed, or from
Oracle Disks:
Disk3\stage\Components\oracle.oid.server\9.2.0.1.0\1\DataFiles\admin.1.1.jar

HowTo: http://home.nc.rr.com/jtlayton/oid2openldap.html

Simply follow the howto to get openldap running and include the OID schemas.

Then, create an ldap.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin, which looks like this:

DIRECTORY_SERVERS=localhost:389
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE=oid DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT="cn=Manager,dc=world"

.. and change sqlnet.ora to contain:

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP) Finished, enjoy.
