LDAP - User report no context shown

Hi user

18.2 required an ldap.ora (by mistake on my part).

(you can specify a default context in ldap.ora)

I tried the following:

Windows (2012) 19.1 against oid12  - success without ldap.ora

Mac 19.1 against oid12 - success. (with or without ldap.ora) (the ldap search screens are pure java - not affected by oracle client etc - emulation of ldap.ora support).

Useful for the user to know.

It does not tell you anything if you got the host or port wrong (it is as you report no context shown - please check your host and port are valid - and there Is nothing in the way (firewall) - you could use a previous 'known working' SQLDeveloper version on the same windows machine/user)

Press enter after entering the ldap server to get Context populated.

Load to fill the service entries list (double click from pull down (or type in) to select a service) (What is typed in narrows selection).

Changes in this release:

Performance fix around aliases

Load in pages (i.e. can load in pages over the default 1000 entries). (Loads in pages of 499 - could conflict with old configuration)

Tries subtree, peer and exact search. (uses first one that does not error out/returns data)

Useful for the oid admin to know:

There are two very similar setting one of them is now required, here is one of them

ldap - ldap.ora for host and context

ldap - ldap.ora for host and context

combobox - type in - no search required - i.e. no tree search required. (One customer said they could do without search if that was the issue stopping ODS from working)
