Resolution

You input the Base DN in the User Store to allow user to authenticate. After setting this, user can successfully authenticate.

Without the Base DN set in the User Store, search particular user from the store shown no problem, but authentication will result in error 18505.
Also make sure you are providing the correct password for the LDAP user.
