8.2.2 Create Multiple Default Contexts in a Directory Naming Server

To enable multiple default contexts, define the orclCommonContextMap with a list of associations between a domain and a DN to be used as the default oracleContext.

If you want clients to use discovery in directories which have more than one Oracle Context, then you can define the orclCommonContextMap attribute in the base admin context. This attribute overrides the orclDefaultSubscriber attribute. During name lookup the discovery operation returns both values, and the client decides based on these which Oracle Context to use.

If the orclCommonContextMap attribute is not defined, then the orclDefaultSubscriber is used as the default. If orclCommonContextMap is defined, then the client finds the default Oracle Context which is associated with its DNS domain in the orclCommonContextMap.

Here is a sample LDIF file entry:

$ ldapmodify -v -h sales-server -p 1389 -D cn=orcladmin -q
 dn: cn=Common,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext
 replace: orclCommonContextMap
 orclCommonContextMap:
 (contextMap=
   (domain_map=(domain=us.example.com)(DN="dc=example,dc=com"))
   (domain_map=(domain=uk.example.com)(DN="dc=sales,dc=com"))
  )
  

You must enter a contextMap entry without line breaks.
