Symptoms

Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is being integrated with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and there is a requirement to configure the communication between OID and AD to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). However the SSL connection to AD is failing.

In an effect to debug the issue, OID ldapbind commands are issued from the OID server commandline, with -U 2 and -U 3 flags for SSL connection.

The ldapbind -U 2 and ldapbind -U 3 commands fail with 'Unknown Error Encountered' when binding to the SSL port of Active Directory 2003.
