Purpose

Specifies the distinguished name for the LDAP entry that contains your connection information. Using an LDAP entry provides simplified maintenance by allowing you to centrally store and access connection information for the database server. LDAP entries specify the server name, failover settings, port number, SDU size, and service name or SID for the target database using the orclNetDescString attribute.

Valid values

distinguished_name

where:

distinguished_name
is the fully qualified path of names in the LDAP directory information tree for the entry containing your connection information. For example, cn=DB122,cn=OracleContext,dc=america,dc=yourcompany,dc=com.
