Title
Access Violation at address "xxx" at module "ntdll.dll". Read of address 00000000 -
Description
soo5049: The following error occurred in "dbname" during connection.
Access Violation at address "xxx" at module "ntdll.dll". Read of address 00000000
The connection will be disconnected. -
Cause
The suffix .WORLD creates a conflict on the database name.
-
Resolution
Adding the database name without the ".WORLD" suffix resolved this issue.
There is a known issue whereby if you attempt an unsuccessful connection multiple times, a cryptic soo5049 message may occur. It simply means it was unable to connect (because the Service_Name was invalid). Enter a correct service name and the connection should work.
Assuming that there is already an LDAP server working, the steps to setup the Spotlight client to use it are as follows:
(1) Make sure the <oracle_dir>\network\admin\sqlnet.ora file is altered to point at LDAP:
# NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(LDAP)(2) Make sure there is an LDAP.ora file in the same directory (<oracle_dir>\network\admin). This will give the correct LDAP server host details.
(3) Create a Spotlight connection profile. In the drop-down list the connection string will be empty (it normally comes from the TNSNAMES.ORA file). Just enter the Oracle Service_Name by hand.
