524 Oracle Database 11g DBA Handbook
Directory Usage Configuration
A directory service provides a central repository of information for the network. The most common
directory forms support the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). An LDAP server can
provide the following features:
Store net service names and their location resolution
Provide global database links and aliases
Act as a clearinghouse for configuration information for clients across the entire network
Aid in configuring other clients
Update client configuration files automatically
House client information such as usernames and passwords
The Directory Usage Configuration option supports both Oracle Internet Directory and the
Microsoft Active Directory. The directory selection window is shown in Figure 15-7 in a Windows
environment.
Next, you are prompted to supply the directory service location host name, port, and SSL port;
you see this window in Figure 15-8. By default, the port is 389 and the SSL port is 636. Once you
have specified this information, the tool attempts to connect to your directory repository and verify
that you have already established a schema and a context. If you have not, you will receive an
error message instructing you to do so.
