OBIEE 11G with Single Sign-On and Active Directory

Question

Hi guys,
Release Version: Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.5.0
Patch applied: 11.1.1.5.0 BP3 (Patch 13832750)
OBIEE Server operating system: Windows Server 2008 SP2 (32-bits Operating System).
We are trying to configure Single Sign-On according to TechNote_WNA_SSO_AD_V4.0.doc.
Our krb5login.conf:
com.sun.security.jgss.krb5.initiate {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
principal="[email protected]"
keyTab=cgdkobi2.keytab
useKeyTab=true
storeKey=true
debug=true
com.sun.security.jgss.krb5.accept {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
principal="[email protected]"
keyTab=cgdkobi2.keytab
useKeyTab=true
storeKey=true
debug=true
We generate de keytab file:
C:\OracleBI11g\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain>C:\OracleBI11g\jrockit_160_24_D1.1.24\bin\ktab.exe -k cgdkobi2.keytab -a [email protected]
Password for [email protected]:XXXXXXX
Done!
Service key for [email protected] is saved in cgdkobi2.keytab
C:\OracleBI11g\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain>C:\OracleBI11g\jrockit_160_24_D1.1.2-4\bin\kinit -k -t cgdkobi2.keytab cgdkobi2
New ticket is stored in cache file C:\Users\cgdkobi2\krb5cc_cgdkobi2
C:\OracleBI11g\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain>C:\OracleBI11g\jrockit_160_24_D1.1.2-4\bin\klist -k -t cgdkobi2.keytab
Key tab: cgdkobi2.keytab, 1 entry found.
[1] Service principal: [email protected]
KVNO: 1
Time stamp: Mar 15, 2013 10:34
C:\OracleBI11g\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain>klist
Current LogonId is 0:0x406163f5
Cached Tickets: (0)
We re-start the services and logon into analytics web and SSO doesn't work but there's not an error. It runs successfully with and Active Directoy user and password. Seems like SSO wasn't enabled, but I checked is enabled.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advanced
