I cannot help you, to start with, as I've never done it with your versions.
However, it *does* work with a pre installed (9.2.0.4) database, which should have AL32UTF8 as character set.

I'd suggest you give that approach a try.

Also, oidmon -connect=<alias> start should be followed by oidctl -connect=<alias> -server=oidldapd -instance=1 start

It may take a while before it's all started.

I would certainly upgrade to 9iRel2, your current version is desupported asof beginning this year, iirc.
