Create a Windows Oracle Data Source For a 5.x OCI Namespace

To create a Windows Oracle data source for a 5.x OCI namespace

  1. Select Programs, Administrative Tools, Data Sources (ODBC) to access the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
  2. Click the System DSN tab and click Add. The Create New Data Source dialog box appears.
  3. Scroll down and select SiteMinder Oracle Wire Protocol and click Finish.
  4. Under the General tab:
    1. In the Data Source Name field, enter the Oracle service name of the OCI namespace user directory that was listed in the 5.x Policy Server User Interface. You find this information by selecting the properties of the user directory.
    2. (Optional) In the Description field, enter a description of the Oracle wire protocol data source.
    3. In the Host field, enter the name of the Oracle database host system.
    4. In the Port Number field, enter the port number on which the Oracle database is listening.
    5. In the SID field, enter the service name of the Oracle instance that you want to connect, which you specified in the tnsnames.ora file. The SID is the system identifier for the database instance.
    6. Test the connection with the database by clicking Test Connect.
  5. Click OK to save the selections and exit the ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol Driver Setup.

    The configuration is complete.

The 5.x OCI namespace user directory is visible using the r6.0 SP6 Policy Server User Interface, however, you cannot perform directory lookups unless you set up the data source.
