2.322 RDBMS_SERVER_DN

RDBMS_SERVER_DN specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) of the Oracle server. It is used for retrieving Enterprise Roles from an enterprise directory service.

Note:

Enterprise User Security (EUS) is deprecated with Oracle Database 23ai.

Oracle recommends that you migrate to using Centrally Managed Users (CMU). This feature enables you to directly connect with Microsoft Active Directory without an intervening directory service for enterprise user authentication and authorization to the database. If your Oracle Database is in the cloud, you can also choose to move to one of the newer integrations with a cloud identity provider.

Note:

The RDBMS_SERVER_DN parameter is deprecated in Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2). It is replaced by the LDAP_DIRECTORY_ACCESS initialization parameter.

If you do not want to use a directory for enterprise user and privilege management, but prefer to use SSL authentication alone, do not set this parameter.
