Configuring Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) 11g as a Directory Server


I used Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Version 11.1.1.5.0 during my test deployment locally here. I tried to collect as much information possible in this post for configuration.
Ideally, there are three possible configuration options for OUD:
  • as a Directory Server
  • as a Replication Server
  • as a Proxy Server
Directory Server provides the main LDAP functionality in OUD. Proxy server can be used for proxying LDAP requests. And Replication Server is used for replication from one OUD to another OUD or even to another ODSEE (earlier Sun Java Directory) server. You can my previous posts on OUD here and here.
In this post, we will talk about configuring OUD after installation as a Directory Server. You can read about OUD installation in my previous post here.
Once installation is completed, you will find following files in $ORACLE_HOME Directory.
-rwxr-x---  1 oracle oracle 1152 May 17 11:16 oud-proxy-setup  -rwxr-x---  1 oracle oracle 1482 May 17 11:16 oud-proxy-setup.bat  -rwxr-x---  1 oracle oracle 1180 May 17 11:16 oud-replication-gateway-setup  -rwxr-x---  1 oracle oracle 1510 May 17 11:16 oud-replication-gateway-setup.bat  -rwxr-x---  1 oracle oracle 1141 Aug 10 16:50 oud-setup  -rwxr-x---  1 oracle oracle 1538 May 17 11:15 oud-setup.bat
In this listing, .bat files are used in windows. So, In Linux (that is what I am using), we will be using following files.
  • oud-setup – To configure Directory Server
  • oud-replication-gateway-setup – To configure Directory Replication Server
  • oud-proxy-setup – To Setup Proxy Server
