Creating an OracleContext

You must create an Oracle Context to use net directory naming features with Active Directory.

Oracle Context is the top-level Oracle entry in the Active Directory tree. It contains Oracle Database service and Oracle Net service name object information.

  • You can create only one Oracle Context for each Windows server domain (administrative context).

  • You must have the necessary permissions to create domain and enterprise objects to create the Oracle Context in Active Directory with Oracle Net Configuration Assistant.

  • Use Oracle Net Configuration Assistant to create your Oracle Context. You can create the Oracle Context during or after Oracle Database Custom installation.
