+      <para>You will need to install the correct Oracle LDAP schema files on

+      (oidbase.schema, oidnet.schema, oidrdbms.schema, alias.schema) e.g. from

+
+      <para>Next you need to create the root entry for Oracle. It should look

+      <programlisting>dn: cn=OracleContext,dc=example,dc=com
+objectclass: orclContext
+cn: OracleContext</programlisting>
