Hi
Yes, it is possible against AD - we've done it successfully.
There are a few links out there that's applicable:

Some of the snags we ran into (might be different in your case):
- If LDAP version 3 doesn't work, try 2.
- Our User attribute is sAMAccountName
You might also get a sizelimit error when trying to import users. Look at my previous post on this at Re: LDAP Authenticationj with OBIEE
Note:
Why you need to import users in your admin tool -- what purpose your importing user in your rpd?
If it is for authentication purpose - no need to import users in your rpd.
Once you have set up your LDAP details on the rpd, do not import the users.
OBI will connect to the LDAP server and complete the authentication piece.
Now to authorize, you would need an external table. Here are instruction on how to set up that:

2.
In addition to the LDAP authentication you need to populate the GROUP variable (also shown in above link). This is where the relationship between users and groups is loaded. This normally requires the USERS=>GROUPS relationship to be in an external table although there are other ways to do it from LDAP such as in [this example|http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/oracle-bi-ee-101332-and-oid-user-and-group-phase-2/].
Refer the below links :
You can two ways we can implement authentication.
