In a case where db connection details need to be retrieved from LDAP:

Database URL                                  : jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://mycompany.com:4042/cn=OracleContext,dc=mycompany,dc=com/OUR_JIRA

JIRA will crash with ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory when loading plugins:

Workaround

Modify $JIRA_HOME/dbconfig.xml file to not use LDAP, but directly connect to the database server using the dedicated user.
Restart JIRA to pick up the changes

Error still exists in Jira 8.17.0

That's very sad. I cannot see why accessing a professional database via ldap is so exotic it cannot be supported properly

we have this issue also (STILL). we want to use ldap connection as our DB is dual instance. Using the workaround limits us to only one instance and limits what we can do in terms of High Availability.
