Oracle internet directory: Connect ODSM with OID

In this topic we are going to describe how to connect ODSM with OID (oracle internet directory).

  • Oracle internet directory is a ldap, which Architecturally is based on an external Oracle database.
  • ODSM is an application which provides us an interface in order to administrate our OID, but before you can use this application, you should connect with the OID.
  • Before to connect with the OID, it should be running. You can start from the instance of the OID.
    • To start the application, you should do it from the instance of the OID.
      • $ cd /<Middleware home>/<instance>/bin/
      • $ ./ opmnctl startall
      • $ ./ opmnctl status
    • (We have also OHS running in the same instance.)

  • Access to the console of ODSM. (It should be running) . By default the url: http://<hostname&gt;:7005/odsm
