#34533 [Csd]: LDAP cannot connect when linked against Oracle LDAP libraries

ID: 34533 User updated by: liamr at umich dot edu Reported By: liamr at umich dot edu Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: linux 2.4.31 PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-09-16 (snap) New Comment: Could you add another note, or perhaps a message in ./configure? I don't think that the LDAP extension will work when linked against instant client. The instant client libraries have the LDAP symbols, but ldap_connect() won't connect regardless of the oracle environment. I think that my problem was not setting my environment consistantly. I have since been able to use the LDAP extension when built against the full installations of oracle 8.1.7 and 10.1.0.3 (when the environment is set correctly... or more specifically, when ORACLE_HOME is set). Not the case with the instant client libraries. Thanks for your help in this matter - sorry for the mostly bogus report.

Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. "In order to use Oracle LDAP libraries, proper Oracle environment has to be set." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-16 22:53:00] sniper@php.net You're just doing it wrong. Works fine for me using this configure line: # export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome_1 # ./configure --disable-all \ '--with-ldap=/home/oracle/OraHome_1 And using the PHP CLI binary on command line, run your script.. Note: I have Oracle 10.1.0.3 libs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-16 22:49:43] tony2001@php.net How exactly do you set it and what it's value when you're using full installs? Do you get any error messages or something? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-16 22:43:11] liamr at umich dot edu I am setting ORACLE_HOME in my apache startup script. Doesn't help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-16 22:36:09] sniper@php.net I'm reclassifying this as documentation problem. The solution is quite simple actually. If you'd use the oracle database functions, they wouldn't work any better either. You have to ALWAYS set the environment correctly when dealing with Oracle. For me, setting ORACLE_HOME was enough. More information about these environment variables can be found at http://www.php.net/oci8 There should be a note about this in the LDAP section of the manual.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
