Symptoms

After successfully creating an OracleContext and adding a Net Service name via NetMgr, client  applications still cannot use AD to resolve their service name.

ORA-12154 : TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified 

A tnsping might yield:  TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name

An anonymous search using ldapsearch against the OracleContext fails, but when the search is performed with credentials it retrieves the data.
