Symptoms

Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Server or Proxy fails to start with error:


Where the OUD LDAP port number configured is Not 389 as shown in the error above. The port number in the error is a typical/default port number from the "LDAP Connection Handler" configuration section of the $ORACLE_HOME/oud/config/config.ldif template file.

Both, the configured LDAP port number and the LDAP port number shown in the error, have been verified to be clear/free with "netstat -an | grep <port number>" command prior to starting OUD.
