Directory Usage Configuration Overview

Oracle Net directory naming, Oracle Advanced Security enterprise user security, and other Oracle product features use a centralized directory server to store entries. If you want to use these features, the directory needs to be set up for them, and the computer from which you want to access the directory needs to know about the directory.

If the directory has not been set up for features such as directory naming and enterprise user security, follow the procedure in Configure a Directory for First-Time Usage to configure the directory.

If the directory has previously been configured one or both of these features, follow the procedure in Configure this Computer to Use Directory Features to use the directory.
