I wonder if the 11gR1 was configured with case-insensitive passwords?

For a minimal test to remove apps as the problem, try connecting as that user using sqlplus and see if you still get an invalid password.  Make sure the case is correct.
Correct, passwords are case sensitive from 11 onwards.

Mark Geerlings has the right  idea here.
If your 11g has SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = false and your 12c is set to TRUE, then case sensitivity can be your problem.

The fundamental issue may be the disconnect between defaults and capabilities pertaining to this.

Another thing to look at is, using a DBA privileged account, to examine the password_versions field of ....uh...well, it's either in dba_users or user$, I can't quite recall. User$, I think. If it just says 10G (regardless of whther your DB is 10G, 11G or 12C), then it is NOT case-sensitive password. If it says "10G 11G 12C", then it is case-sensitive.

If you need it to be case-insensitive, follow Mark's steps for resetting the SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON.
Also, check your sqlnet.ora file and set the allowed_logon_version_server, allowed_logon_version_client parameter to 10 if you need it to be non-sensitive/insensitive.
