Any plans on putting together a similar cheat sheet for BI4/Vintela SSO anytime soon?

I've found that substituting the service account with the SPN or vice versa sometimes works, but I don't know enough about AD to understand :) Cheers Josh Hi Andrew,

I had to change the idm.princ to be the service account rather than the SPN. Not sure why or if that's changed - any thoughts?

That's what i assumed, but with these java things you never know what to expect. :) Anyhow, I am at lost with this thing so i will take your advice and open a ticket with SAP. Cheers.

KTPASS is an AD executable, which can be deployed on any Windows machine. It'll then authenticate to AD automatically. So short answer is yes, it can be run on the BOE servers no problem.

One more question. Everything I read so far about SSO configuration for BO (every version) as well as for Tivoli Identity management solutions talks about running ktpass command on the DC. The only reason/explanation I found so far, was that the ktpass is only installed by default on the DC. However, in our environment, our sys admins have installed ktpass on our BOE servers and they ran the ktpass command on the BOE server. Is there a problem if they ran the ktpass on the BOE servers instead of running it on the DC? And if we must run it on the DC, what is the reason behind, so I can convince our Sys Admin to run the command on the DC? Thanks, Adi Thanks Joshua! One more question.

It doesn't look like SAP have released SSO guides for BI4 yet either. Your best bet would be to log an SAP support ticket to get this resolved. Sorry I can't help further, but I will be looking at doing a video guide on SSO for BI4 soon. Thanks, Josh Hi Adi,
