Set up JDBC DataSource in LDAP

Question

How do I create a JDBC DataSource in an OpenLDAP server?

The problem is that jdbc/something is not a valid DN or RDN. But that is the format of the name that you are supposed to use for JDBC DataSources.

This is for an Oracle database, though I would also want to do it for Postgresql and other RDBMSs.

Thanks - but it doesn't explain what this URL format means. In this example: `jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://ldap.acme.com:7777/sales,cn=OracleContext,dc=com` what does the `sales,` part of the URL mean? It is not a Distinguished Name or Relative Distinguished Name, as far as I know. – Robin Green Jul 23 '13 at 07:22
sales is the net service name stored in LDAP – ALex_hha Jul 23 '13 at 07:54
And where are the credentials? – icalvete Feb 20 '20 at 17:59
