Did 10g recently, check http://vanbortel.blogspot.com - the Enterprise Security entries (there's about eight of them).

In the my setup, OiD uses 3160, and this should work: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapbind -h csdb01 -p 3160 -U 1 The -p 3160 is the port argument; use your own (netstat -a|grep LISTEN to find what addresses are listened for), -h is your hostname; change my csdb01 in your own.
