Symptoms

Clients configured for LDAP directory naming return ORA-12154 error during name lookup.  Tnspings are also failing with TNS-3505.

DBCA may hang while attempting to add a database to OID.

Using Net Config Assistant (NETCA) to create an LDAP.ORA (Directory Usage Configuration) returns TNS-4409 TNS-4405 errors.

NetCA error message:
"The directory has not been configured for this usage. It does not contain
the required Oracle Schema, or the Oracle Schema version is not correct."

The NetCA log shows:
Oracle Net Services Configuration:
ConfigException: Could not check for the Oracle Schema:
oracle.net.config.ConfigException: TNS-4409: Directory service error
caused by: oracle.net.config.DirectoryServiceException: TNS-4405: General error
