If two different LDAP adapters are created within OVD a user can be searched from both the directories or from a single directory based on the Mapped name space in the OVD. Below is the use case scenarios depicting the same: Create an Adapter with OID/OUD using remote base as “” and mapped name space to “dc=eus,dc= oracle ,dc=com”. It can also be mapped to either tree (dc= oracle ,dc=com) or user container (cn=Users,dc= oracle ,dc=com).If we have to search the root values also from OID/OUD then map it to "". Now from the adapter browser even cn=”changelog” can be seen which doesn’t come under “dc=us,dc= oracle ,dc=com” tree in OUD. Create another adapter for Active directory mapping it to remote base as “dc=dev,dc=
