  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Configuring Oracle data source via LDAP was very difficult   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * NONE                                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  Impact required a special sql.Datasource object to exist in the
  LDAP jndi registry in order to obtain an oracle connection
  through ldap. This approach does not make sense given the url
  available to make an oracle ldap connection, and in the case of
  Active  DIrectory this approach was not feasible to implement.
  

Problem conclusion

• Customer now configures the data source in Impact with the url
  to connect to Oracle via LDAP.
  The fix for this apar is in 511FP2
