This topic describes how to obtain the Oracle Database Client installation files on Microsoft Windows and how to install the Oracle Database Client and Oracle Wallet Manager.

This task is a step in Process of Installing and Configuring LDAP Client Software.

To install the Oracle Database Client and Oracle Wallet Manager on Windows

1. Log on to Microsoft Windows.
2. Navigate to the Siebel image location for the current release, then navigate to the directory Release\Windows\Server_Ancillary\Oracle_LDAP_Client\enu.
3. Copy the files in the \enu directory to a directory on the Siebel Server where you want to install the Oracle Database Client.
4. Install the Oracle Database Client, selecting the Runtime option when you are prompted to select the type of installation you want to perform.

   For detailed information on installing Oracle Database Client, see Oracle® Database Client Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Microsoft Windows. When the installation has completed, the following software is available on the Siebel Server:

   • Oracle LDAP SDK
   • Oracle LDAP client library
   • Oracle Wallet Manager

     NOTE:  The Oracle LDAP client software components are embedded in the Oracle Database Client and are not listed as separately installed programs on the Siebel Server.

5. Set the value of the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the location of the directory into which you installed the Oracle Database Client files, for example:

   set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\SUN64\11gR2\11.2.0.3

   NOTE:  If you are using Siebel Business Applications with an Oracle Database, and if you have a previous Oracle Database Client installation, change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the location of the Oracle Database Client you have just installed.

6. Set the value of the Security Adapter Dll Name parameter to sscforacleldap.dll.

   For information on the Security Adapter Dll Name parameter, see Parameters for LDAP or ADSI Authentication.

7. Stop and restart the Siebel Server.
