Installing the Oracle LDAP Client Software on Windows

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

Note: As of Siebel CRM 17.0, the Oracle LDAP Client is no longer provided as part of Siebel product media - it is now installed as part of the Oracle Database Client, which you must download separately from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

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

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

1. Log on to Microsoft Windows.

2. Obtain Oracle LDAP Client installation files as follows:

   1. Go to the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com).

   2. Search for Oracle Database Client and download same from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. Oracle Database Client contains both Oracle Database and Oracle LDAP Client.

3. Install the Oracle LDAP Client, selecting the Administrator Runtime option when you are prompted to select the type of installation you want to perform.

   Note: Make sure to set the PATH environmental variable to bin folder under Oracle client install location.

   For detailed information on installing Oracle LDAP Client, see Oracle® Database Client Installation Guide 12c Release 1 (12.1) for Microsoft Windows and the Certification tab on My Oracle Support. When the installation has completed, the following software is available on the Siebel Server and Siebel Gateway:

   • Oracle LDAP SDK

   • Oracle LDAP client library

   • Oracle Wallet Manager

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

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

   set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\SUN32\12C\12.1.x
   

   Note: If you are using Siebel Business Applications with an Oracle Database, and if you have a previous Oracle LDAP Client installation, change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the location of the Oracle LDAP Client you have just installed. You can set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable by navigating to the following location on your machine: Computer, Properties, Advanced System Settings, Environment Variables, and then System Variables.

5. 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 Configuring Security Adapter Authentication.

6. Stop and restart the Siebel Server and Siebel Gateway.
