RE: Sendmail and Oracle Internet Directory

So Oracle doesn't support it (go figure), what about adding the schema yourself? That can't void Oracle Support can it?

I think you're looking for RFC2307. I can't find the doc at Sun, but there is a PDF at

http://www.netsys.com/library/papers/sun_ldap_setup.pdf

You may need to rework the LDIFs to get it imported into OID.

As a second option, you may be able to use SunOne (or OpenLDAP) *with* OID. RTM: Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide Release 9.2

I'm trying to setup the sendmail feature ldap_routing using Oracle Internet Directory (OID)for the LDAP server.

There is a matching rule in the sendmail schema called caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch not doesn't exist in OID.

Has anyone found a way to resolve this problem?

I opened a tar with Oracle and was basically told 'to bad, use openldap'.
