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..
