RE: OID Odyssey

Hi Adar,

You can certainly put the name of the LDAP directory servers into the the ldap.ora file. That works correctly, and I have no problem with it. That makes the location of the directory server static. However, you're also supposed to be able to put the directory server into an SRV record in the DNS server, and have the client dynamically look it up there. This is what's not working for me.

The details of what I'm trying to do are here:

Hello Mark

You need ldap.ora to tell sqlnet who the directory servers are.
I think that if you write computer name as directory server, sqlnet will
use DNS to locate this server.

i.e.: Directory_servers=server1:port:sslport,server2:port:sslport will
use DNS to find server1 and server2.
