title: Does Oracle SQL Developer Work With sqlnet.ora?
body: <p>Is there a way to configure Oracle SQL Developer to respect the TNS look up order in sqlnet.ora ?</p>
  
  <p>We have all information correctly configured in TNS_ADMIN folder:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ldap.ora
  sqlnet.ora
  tnsnames.ora
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Our sqlnet.ora config TNS Look up order as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>...
  NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES)
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>We want the client to check LDAP first , then local tnsnames.ora as a backup in case lost LDAP connection.</p>
  
  <p>But looks like Oracle SQL Developer can not use sqlnet.ora.</p>
  
  <p>You either have to select TNS or LDAP explicitly.</p>
  
  <p>I google around , but no one seems bother with this.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know if it is even possible with Oracle SQL Developer, if so , how ?</p>
