When you configure Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD), configuration tools configures two type<\/strong> of listeners (as shown above) HTTP Web Gateway<\/strong> and LDAP<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

This post covers what these listeners are and where these are used.<\/p>\n

LDAP<\/strong> : Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
\nDSML<\/strong> : Directory Service Markup Language
\nODSM<\/strong> : Oracle Directory Service Manager
\nOVD<\/strong> : Oracle Virtual Directory
\n WLST<\/strong> : WebLogic Scripting Tool
\nXSLT<\/strong> : eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations<\/p>\n

Listeners in OVD are similar to Database Listener (for DBAs) which listen for client’s request and passes it to OVD server for processing.<\/p>\n

There are two type of listeners in OVD
\na) LDAP Listener<\/strong> : This listener provides LDAP v3 service. This type of listener serves request from any LDAP client. OVD by default configures two LDAP listener; LDAPS<\/strong> (LDAP Secure listener<\/strong> listening on default port 7501) and LDAP<\/strong> (LDAP listening<\/strong> on default port 6501)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

b) HTTP Listener<\/strong> : This type of listener provides service like \u00a0DSML<\/a><\/strong> or white page functions provided by an XSLT enabled Web Gateway. This listener is also referred as HTTP Web Gateway<\/strong>. There are two HTTP Listeners<\/strong>; DSML Gateway<\/strong> (listening on default port 2223 non ssl) and Admin Gateway<\/strong> (listening on default port 8899).<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: When you connect to OVD using ODSM<\/a>\u00a0, you use Admin Gateway Port as shown below – I changed OVD admin gateway port from 8899 to 8929<\/span><\/p>\n

Other good things to know about OVD Listeners (LDAP or HTTP Web Gateway)<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> HTTP Listener (DSML Gateway and Admin Gateway) is the interface that OVD uses to talk to\u00a0ODSM<\/a>\u00a0and Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control (\/em) (where em is a web application deployed on WebLogic Admin Server<\/span>)
\n2. You can modify existing or add additional HTTP or LDAP Listener ports using em<\/strong> or WLST<\/strong>, more\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n
