Within Oracle 8.1.5 (on Solaris Unix), I'm using Oracle's External Routine to call a C program and passing to it a username and password. This C program then connects (binds) to the LDAP server using the two passed-in parameters.

If bind to LDAP server is successful, C program returns a 0 (zero) to Oracle. If uncessful bind, returns a 1 back to an Oracle function (using Ext Routine).

If I run this C program from a Unix prompt and pass it username/password, it connects to the LDAP server fine. Problem is running it from within Oracle. From Oracle Ext Routine, keeps returning a 0 (zero) every time.

Has anyone encountered this problem? Or is this even possible (Oracle External Procedure => C => LDAP)? Please help!

Thnx.
