Symptoms

Oracle Internet Directory (OID) 11g 11.1.1.9.0 version with Directory Integration Platform (DIP).

OID 11.1.1.9 Java External Authentication Plug-in fails to authenticate users to Microsoft (MS) Active Directory (AD) using SSL.

Performed all the configuration required to synchronize Active Directory with Oracle Internet Directory 11g, but the Java Plug-in for External Authentication is not working and fails with:  "Invalid Credentials".

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Setup synchronization profile between OID 11.1.1.9 and AD

REF: Active Directory OID 11g Synchronization Quick Start Guide (Doc ID 1263918.1)

2. Configure oidexplg_bind_ad and oidexplg_compare_ad in ODSM.
