The root cause of this issue is somehow the ldap directory of the server got corrupted.
To resolve this issue:
 Kill the managed server 
 Remove the ldap folder from the following location  <<DOMAIN_HOME>>/servers/<<Managed Server>>, this file will 

 be auto generated while restarting the server.
Restart the server
