Symptoms

In an EBS environment integrated with OID where Application to OID provisioning is enabled, when attempting to create a new user, receive error ORA-20001. Other users can be created successfully, so the problem seems to be related to one username only

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1.  Create a new user with the following <USERNAME> "12345" in EBS "Define User" form

2.  In OID the corresponding entry is:

cn=12345,cn=Users,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com
UID is 12345
3. Change the Apps user account to "98765" in the Apps "Define User" form
At this moment
cn=12345,cn=Users,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com
UID is 98765
<DN> is unique and cannot be changed in oidadmin neither in oiddas.

So at this stage, although the username has been changed and will work correctly the original internal reference is still being used within OID

4.  If now need to create a separate new user "12345" in EBS, this should work without an error, but instead in Define->User form the following error appears:
