You have E-Business Suite 11i/R12/12i Integrated with OID/SSO (10g AS Infrastructure),  Integration is one way (Apps -> OID) or two way (OID <—> Apps). After few months users complain that they created some users in Apps 11i/R12 (FND_USER) but these users are not created in OID.
In order to troubleshoot such issue, you should know process flow

User creation process flow (Apps to OID)
1. You create user in Apps and profile option APPS_SSO_IDENTITY & APPS_LDAP_SYNC is enabled

2. DBMS_LDAP will check in OID for password policy (to check, if password supplied during user creation meets password policy at OID)

3. User creation will create business events in Oracle Apps

4. ODISRV (Oracle Directory Integration Server) will check if any provisioning profile is enabled to pull data from Apps.

5. OID provisioning server will consume business events from Apps (11i/R12)
 

  Your first attempt should be to follow checklist as per metalink note 295606.1 (For 11i) & 380487.1 (For R12/12i)

As per “2.11 Users created in E-Business Suite not propagated to OID” of note 295606.1, you checked and found that
-
A. E-Business Suite is set to propagate users to OID  - Yes
B. There are relevant WorkFlow events get created in 11i Workflow Tables - Yes
C. Business Event is moved from Pending events to Consumed events - Yes
D. ODISRV is running on OID Server - Yes  (ODISRV is Directory Integration Daemon used to sync data between OID and Applications or other LDAP Servers) . To know more about OID click here
E. You checked that ApplicationsToOID provisioning profile exists, enabled and no errors - Yes
F. Latest event propagation was successful in provisioning profile. - Yes
G. You enabled Extra logging in provisioning profile but no error message in provisioning profile. (Done at OID level) - Yes
H. You enabled Debug for FND Messages but there was no error message in FND_LOG_MESSAGES table. - YesNext in section 2.11 says; “As of today, no reports have been filed with successful status and failed provisioning from Apps to OID. If this is the case, provide Oracle Support with all logs” 

Step missing under section 2.11 of note  295606.1 ( I hope Oracle Support will put this check under section 2.11) is to check AppsDN Account password.

What is this AppDN Account ? 
AppsDN is special administration account which E-Business Suite (11i/R12/12i) uses to connect to OID for management and administrative tasks when integrating with OID/SSO. This is user’s password is supplied during Apps 11i/R12 registration with OID/SSO.
- 

Where it is AppsDN account stored ?
AppsDN password is stored in E-Business Suite & in OID. In OID it is stored under Entry Management -> Default Realm -> Oracle Context -> Products -> EBusiness -> EBusiness Name Used during Registration

Lets assume your OID realm is onlineappsdba.com and while registering Apps (11i/R12) with OID you used application name (-appname ) as VIS11I then this AppsDN account should be in OID under
Entry Management -> com -> onlineappsdba -> Products -> EBusiness -> VIS11I

How to verify if AppsDN account is expired ?

Login to E-Business Database as apps User and run

SQL> select fnd_preference.get(’#INTERNAL’, ‘LDAP_SYNCH’,'USERNAME’) ;

Out put should be like
orclApplicationCommonName=”VIS11I”,cn=”EBusiness”,cn=Products, cn=OracleContext,dc=onlineappsdba,dc=com

Then find password stored in Apps as
SQL> select fnd_preference.eget(’#INTERNAL’, ‘LDAP_SYNCH’,'EPWD’,'LDAP_PWD’) Password from dual;

Check out put  in my case its  “welcome123″

Now Verify if Password in OID is same and not expired 

Connect to OID host and issue command like

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapcompare -h oid_host -poid_port  \
-D cn=orcladmin -w orcladmin_password \
-b “orclApplicationCommonName=<Apps_Registration>, cn=EBusiness,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext,dc=<you_doamin_name>” \
-a userpassword -v <password>

Like in my case
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapcompare -h oid1.com -p 389-D cn=orcladmin -w welcome1 \
-b “orclApplicationCommonName=VIS11I, cn=EBusiness,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext, dc=onlineappsdba,dc=com” \
-a userpassword -v welcome123

If Password is correct, you will get output like
The value welcome123 is contained in the attribute userpassword in DN
orclApplicationCommonName=VIS11I,cn=EBusiness,cn=Products, cn=OracleContext,dc=onlineappsdba,dc=com.

If Password is wrong, you will get output like
The value welcome123 is notcontained in the attribute userpassword in DN orclApplicationCommonName=VIS11I,cn=EBusiness,cn=Products, cn=OracleContext,dc=onlineappsdba,dc=com.

If Password is expired, you will get output like
ldap_compare_s: Invalid credentials
ldap_compare_s: additional info: Password Policy Error :9000: GSL_PWDEXPIRED_EXCP :Your Password has expired. Please contact the Administrator to change your password.

Why AppsDN account expired ?

In OID, there is default password policy which locks accounts whose passwords are not changed in last 60 days.

How to prevent this happening in future ?

Option 1: Create another policy in OID and select option “Not to lock account” and assign new password policy to Administrative accounts like AppsDN & orcladmin.  (Note : Multiple Password Policy is supported from OID 10.1.4 and higher) 

Option 2: Reset AppsDnpassword every 59 days (Depending on your password policy you can reset password to same old value, reseting password unlocks account in case account is locked). 
Note1* If you are changing AppsDN password then you have to register Apps again with OID.
Note2* If you are changing password, password policy option (User should change password on first login) should be disabled during reset of AppsDN password
