Setting up AD in 11g; time out error message

Question

Hello,

I am trying to integrate AD with OBIEE 11g.  I have followed the Rittman Mead blog.  http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/03/obiee-11g-security-week-connecting-to-active-directory-and-obtaining-group-membership-from-database-tables/

I am able to sign into the dashboard with my normal BI user ID and password.  But, when I try to sign into the dashboard with my AD user ID and password, I see this message int he nqserver.log:

[nQSError: 46169] An HTTP operation to ipaddress:9704 timed out after 120 seconds. Operation aborted.. [[

**********  Task: 1. Running for (mls): 120047 **********

Description: Authenticate

RPID: Star; user: myuserid; AppType: 0; Offline: false

Any ideas for me?  Is there other information I can supply to help with suggestions on where to start trouble shooting?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.  It is truly appreciated.

There is no network issue.  Both the BI server and the AD server sit internally and there is no firewall or anything blocking them.

So, does anyone else have suggestions on the time out error message?  I'm fairly stuck on this so any suggestions are welcome.

That thought crossed my mind this evening and I will definitely check with the network team tomorrow.

I can see the users and groups from AD in the WLS.

Do you have a firewall blocking connection from your OBIEE server to the AD server?
