Net8 directory naming and enterprise user security (for use with Oracle Advanced Security) use a centralized directory server to store entries. If you want to use these features, you must configure directory access.
Directory access configuration on the server allows you to access entries, as well as create new entries. Also, directory access configuration allows the Oracle Database Configuration, which runs after the Net8 Configuration Assistant, to create a connect identifier for the database service it creates.
Directory access configuration on the client allows you to access entries. You can use the database service entry created by the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to connect to the database.
