Re: Another Oracle LDAP Question

DBMS_LDAP.SESSION - is type defined in dbms_ldap
DBMS_LDAP_UTL.HANDLE - is type defined in dbms_ldap_util
DBMS_LDAP_UTL.DIRECT_MEMBERSHIP - is a constant defined in dbms_ldap_utl

All of them are fully ok and as much 9i specific as 8i too. I am trying to understand what you are doing, but i fail. Possibly that helps:

in the DBMS_LDAP are mostly functions included , which can be used to query any LDAP compatible directory service, as there are implemented generic ldap specific operations like ldapsearch,ldapmodify and so on. In the DBMS_LDAP_UTL are mostly functions designed to work only with OID, as they expect to find some context deployed into directory (so called OracleContext ), in case OracleContext can not be found in the LDAP ( as in the case of OpenLDAP or MS AD ) they throws exceptions.

Maybe i am bothering you with my suggestions, but why don't you first try to read the manuals ? A very good startpoint ( as for me ) can be http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oid/oidhtml/oidqs/html_masters/gsmain.htm

Best regards
