ALBPM Directory Service: Hybrid Configuration - MSAD Problems

Question

I've successfully configured the Directory Service of an ALBPM (Enterprise Standalone) v6.0.4 #94069 installation to use a MS Active Directory (MSAD) service for ALBPM organization infomation. I can view participant, group and organizational unit information using the Process Administrator. However, I've noted:
<ul><li>The MSAD is swamped with (successful) authentication requests from the ALBPM directory service and
     and I have had to stop the ALBPM 6.0 server to prevent disruption to our MSAD service.
</li>
<li>
     Repeated warning messages in the ALBPM log about MSAD Contacts, listed in MSAD Groups, that cannot be found as ALBPM Participants. These messages do not appear for MSAD Users who are correctly shown as ALBPM Participants.
</li>
<li>
     Repeated warning messages in the ALBPM log about MSAD Groups that cannot be found as ALBPM Groups where the MSAD Group definiton is such that the MSAD sAMAccountName value for the group is different to the MSAD name or cn value.
</li>
</ul>
Is anyone else using MSAD in their ALBPM directory service configuration? Have you seen similar issues? I've tried reporting this via Oracle Support, however, my impression is that others users do not have such problems using MSAD with ALBPM or Oracle BPM.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Have a read of this http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/admin_guide/index.html if you are using groups.
I'm using Novell eDirectory instead of AD but am also seeing a large number of requests from BPM. However, I've not had time yet to investigate to what these relate.
Thanks,
Mike,
