Steps to reproduce issue:

1- Create a new user in OID and make sure the UID attribute has CN= as part of the value
e.g
UID: cn=<USERNAME>.12345

2- Go to EM 12c, Go to Target Navigation Menu

3- Expand Forms folder

4- Click on "forms1"

5- Go to Forms menu and select "Security" --> "Forms LDAP Resource Administration"

6- The "LDAP Administrator connection information" window will be displayed.

7- Enter all the information of the LDAP server requested there and try to connect.
It will fail stating with "INVALID LOGIN. ENTER CORRECT LDAP CREDENTIAL TO CONTINUE"

8- Go back to OID and remove from the user created in OID the CN= part
FROM
UID: cn=<USERNAME>.12345

TO
UID: <USERNAME>.12345

9- Try again to connect same as in step #7 and that connection should work.
