Using DBMS_LDAP To Create Resource Access Descriptors (RAD) from Oracle Forms

forms_rad.createOidSession Syntax For Non-superuser Accounts

REFERENCE: Howto create Resource Access Descriptors for Oracle9i Forms single sign-on with PLSQL

The CREATE_SAMPLE_PROCEDURE.SQL script uses the cn=orcladmin superuser account for OID session binding. Use of the superuser account in a production environment is strongly discouraged. Instead, any OID user account with the ability to create and modify user accounts may be used, however the full distinguished name for this user must be passed to the DBMS_LDAP session binding function. This is what it should look like using the forms_rad.createOidSession function provided in the Oracle sample code:

forms_rad.createOidSession('cn=oidadmin,cn=Users,dc=adm17655,dc=com','adminoid','oid.hostname.com',389, 'dc=hostname,dc=com');
