Symptoms

Issue 1:

After loading entries into Oracle Internet Directory (OID) with the ldapadd utility, a subsequent attempt to access the entry from Net Manager fails with:

Invalid Entry
"Error retrieving DBService: TEST"

and clicking on the "Details" button shows an error stack similar to:

The exception (oracle.net.common.dataStore.DataStoreException) occurred.   message: original exception message: TNS-04412: A problem reading or writing an address  caused by: oracle.net.config.SOExceptionConfig: TNS-04409: Directory service error  caused by: oracle.net.config.DirectoryServiceException: TNS-04431: DirectoryService: no entries found  caused by: oracle.net.ldap.NNFLException ...
However, the entry appears to be working, eg. if trying to connect using the newly added entry, name resolution will work and the connection established.

Issue 2:

Attempting to access an existing service name entry in OID using NetMgr yields the following stack:
