Description
In cx_Oracle, in order to connect to an oracle database over LDAP, we need to create a sqlnet.ora file and ldap.ora file.
In oracledb's thin mode, sqlnet.ora is not supported, and presumably ldap.ora file is not either.
Is it possible to connect over LDAP in oracledb's thin mode?
If so, how do we do it?
