Start .stop and Status the OID server
To start OID:
${ORACLE_HOME}/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
To stop:
${ORACLE_HOME}/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
To get OID process status using opmnctl:
${ORACLE_HOME}/opmn/bin/opmnctl status
To start a specific OID instance using opmnctl:
${ORACLE_HOME}/opmn/bin/opmnctl startproc ias-component=oid1
To get OID process using oidctl (OID Version 11g and higher):
${ORACLE_HOME}/oidctl connect=oiddb status
OID Utilities
Some related utilities to manage OID entries:
LDAP bind
Test if you can bind (connect) to the OID server:
$ ldapbind -p 389 -h my-host-name bind successful
Add OID entries
Add an entry/ entries to the OID server:
$ ldapadd -h my-host-name -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w mypassword -f onames.ldif
Lookup OID entries
Lookup an SQL*Net Service Name (in the example below, extract orclnetdescstring for TESTENTRY) in the OID directory:
$ ldapsearch -h my-host-name -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w mypassword -b "cn=TESTENTRY,cn=OracleContext,dc=mycompany,dc=com" -s base "objectclass=*" orclnetdescstring
Lookup all user information using the mail attribute as the filter under a specified domain
$ ldapsearch -h my-host-name -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w mypassword -b "dc=mycompany,dc=com" -s sub "mail=*"
Lookup a specific user in LDAP using a specific mail value
$ ldapsearch -h my-host-name -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w mypassword -b "dc=mycompany,dc=com" -s sub "mail=john.smith@mail.com"
Looking up a specifici user in LDAP but returning only the values for mail and uid attributes.
$ ldapsearch -h my-host-name -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w mypassword -b "dc=mycompany,dc=com" -s sub "mail=john.smith@mail.com" mail uid
Lookup all user information using the inetorgperson attribute as the filter under a specified domain and only returning the dn record
$ ldapsearch -h my-host-name -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w mypassword -b "dc=mycompany,dc=com" -s sub "objectclass=inetorgperson" dn
Modify an OID entry
$ ldapmodify -h my-host-name -p 389 -D cn=orcladmin -w mypassword -c -v -f <filename>.ldif
Delete an OID entry
$ ldapdelete -h my-host-name -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w mypassword "cn=TESTENTRY,cn=OracleContext,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
