How to use LDAP to connect to a database - for example, to an Oracle DB.

The URL connection-string could possibly be best formed as:

 String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://" + ldapHost + "/" + instance + ldap_context;

and look like:

 String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://ldap-server:389/testInstance,CN=Admin,O=myOrganization,C=AB";

This string could then be included in one of our JITL jobs. Either:

  • PLSQL job or
  • SQLPlus job
    The user ID and password along with the URL would then be included in the job parameters.
