Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Library OVD (libOVD) 11g integrated with WebCenter Portal 11g, e.g., 11.1.1.8.0.

After integrating a domain to an external Sun Directory Server (DS) ldap adapter, the users and groups are coming into the WebLogic security without problems.

However, in WebCenter Spaces or Content component, the users or groups do not show up.

The ldap adapter is failing to initialize and throwing log error:

This only occurs in one of identical environments.

Tried dropping and recreating the ldap adapter from scratch using the WebLogic Admin console, but the same problem continues.
