When I upgraded the infra 10.1.2.x to 10.1.2.3 I got an failed on Oracle Internet Directory Patch Configuration Assistant. I found out that in the $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/log/patchca.log there was an error:


Wed Mar 10 09:51:41 CET 2010OID PatchCA started..
Check if OID is configured.
oracle.sysman.assistants.util.NetAPIException: TNS-04404: no error

        at oracle.ldap.oidinstall.OIDPatchCA.main(OIDPatchCA.java:443)


After some investigation I found out that the tnsnames.ora was not correct. We changed this an now everything is working.
