We attempted to use OID 3.0.1 for our LDAP implementation, but OID cannot
accept all v3LDAP-compliant LDIFs, despite what their marketing says. When
we filed a TAR, Oracle Support's solution was to have us Oracleize the
industry-standard LDIF. Wrong! This same LDIF file has since been imported
verbatim into OpenLDAP and SunOne (iPlanet). We are choosing to use SunOne.
Also, under RedHat, we have run into another show stopper while using
replication with OID. For some unknown reason, we will end up with "Max
connections reached. closing connection." in the oidldapd.log file, even
when there's very sparse usage. We filed BUG 2369181, which is still
pending, AFAIK. The workaround is to bounce the LDAP servers.
Unbreakable...
And since we intend on using SunOne, Oracle won't support it's usage for
names resolution unless you also have OID as a "gateway" between the two.
Huh?? What the hell is the point of doing that? Sure doesn't help the
CUSTOMER!
So, until Oracle cleans up their LDAP act (which, admittedly, our new Oracle
sales guy seems to be working at), they can bite me. Sorry if that comes
off a bit acerbic, but it really gets my goat when a software company like
Oracle tries to pull that MS BS of making an industry standard proprietary
just so they can charge us for an inferior product when much more mature and
stable (and CHEAPER!) alternatives are available. All it does is get the
customer hacked off, which isn't good for Oracle nor Us.
Best of luck to ya! :) I do have some nifty Korn scripts for dealing with
OID administration. One of these days I'll have to post them to the web.
If you want them in their raw form, contact me offline.

Hi Guys ,
I know this question might have apperaed in this many times and I just
neglected it cuz I was not interested in it. But now I am asking same
question . We are runnning oracle bi ( 8.1.7) database , since recently it
has been decided to move our iplanet LDAP server to oracle 9i LDAP we are
considering migrating our database also to oracle 9i . Now my question is
a) what version oracle 9i is most stable 9.1.0.2 . Are there any issues
which we should be concerned about . I am sure many of you have done this
migration .I would like to know your experience .
Thanks ,
Bp
