How to Connect to Database using OVD and LDAP
I have setup Oracle Virtual Directory 11.1.1.3.0 as per "Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)" and created an adapter to an external LDAP directory. From ODSM Data Browser I can expand the Adapter Browser and Client View trees to view the directory objects and successfully perform searches.
In the database I have created a global user with a private schema. This user has a uid in the LDAP directory. However if I try to connect to the database as this user I get this error: "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied".
