Checking OID/LDAP Operation

by Jeff Hunter, Sr. Database Administrator


This article provides a means to quickly identify if the Oracle Internet Directory (LDAP) service is installed and functioning properly.

UNIX

If have Oracle Internet Directory installed on the UNIX platform, use the command-line tool ldapcheck as follows:
# $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/bin/ldapcheck

Checking Oracle Internet Directory Processes ...

Process oidmon is Alive as PID 401      <--- guardian process
Process oidldapd is Alive as PID 444    <--- ldap dispatcher
Process oidldapd is Alive as PID 438    <--- ldap server
Not Running ---- Process oidrepld       <--- Only shows if OID Replication was setup

Windows

Instead of using ldapcheck, use the task manager and you should see:
oidservice.exe   <--- the equivilent of oidmon on unix
oidldapd.exe     <--- two instances, the dispatcher and server..
