Basic concepts of LDAP and Oracle Internet Directory Server

What is a Directory?

It is a different structure database that stores data, which can be searched easily for a special purpose.

What is OID?

OID or Oracle Internet Directory is Oracle’s implementation of LDAP. It provides directory services to the Oracle database and the Oracle Application Server.

What are the security benefits of OID?

OID – Oracle Internet Directory provides the following security benefits:
- Data integrity
- Data confidentiality
- Password protection
- Data access control

What are OID Monitor and OID Control Utilities?

OID Monitor Utility initiates, monitors, and terminates the OID server processes. All the activities are logged in the $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/log/oidmon.log file. The OID Monitor process must be running to process commands from OID control utility. To start/stop the OID Monitor process do the following:
# oidmon connect=net_service_name sleep=10 start/stop -- the command starts/stops OID monitor and every 10 seconds checks to restart any servers that may have stopped not by the “stop” option.

OID Control Utility stops and starts the server OID instance processes.

What is Oracle Directory Manager?

It is a Java-based GUI tool to maintain and administer Oracle Internet Directory data. By default the port in which the OID instance is running is 389 or 4032.

To run it just enter # oidadmin
