I've recently inherited an Oracle 8.1.6 system and was just trying to setup a database link between two instances. I've granted the "create database link" priv to the user account and can successfully create the link but when I try to do a "select from table_name@linked_db;" I get the following error:
ERROR at line 1: ORA-28030: Server encountered problems accessing LDAP directory service Earlier I had a TNS error and found that my tnsnames.ora file was missing one of my instances. I fixed that problem and tnsping now responds correctly but I'm still getting the error listed on the subject line. My sqlnet.ora file contains "NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)" so everything should be set to use my local tnsnames.ora file. I've been going through Oracle Net 8 documentation but still haven't found anything. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks...
