Connecting to an oracle database via LDAP #137

Closed travisdesell closed 3 years ago

travisdesell commented 4 years ago

We're trying to connect to an oracle database via LDAP and are wondering how we need to do this. Can we just have the connection string be something like:

ldap://<host>:<port>/<database>,<ldap params>

Or do we need to do something programmatically for this?

LDAP is configured independently of ODPI-C by setting the connection string and network configuration files. There is some scattered info around, e.g https://github.com/oracle/node-oracledb/issues/1212#issuecomment-591940440 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31994159/how-do-you-connect-to-an-ldap-server-using-node-oracledb

I always thought it was a real shame one cannot use EZCONNECT and Instant-Client (Lite or not) to connect to an Oracle server using LDAP auth. FWIW :). Having to configure files for such a thing doesn't make any sense to me.
