AD users' "id number" overwrites the database credentials

Hello,

 

We have BO 4.1 sp1 (on mostly BW) with winAD enabled. We have mapped the groups and imported the AD users to BO. The users have no problem logging in and viewing reports. The company has a policy of updating AD passwords in every 2 months so that we have decided to schedule to update the AD groups every hour.

 

Recently We have witnessed a strange problem and suspect it is due to the scheduled update of the imported AD groups. In CMC some BO users have their database credentials enabled so that they can only view the restricted data on coming from Bw. The problem is, those database credentials we have entered is somehow changed on its own to the id number of the imported user. We don't want that, because there is no such bw user.


We suspect, some property (id number perhaps) of the AD user is mapped to the database credentials of the imported BO user so that it updates that part. And there is one more thing, each time we update the AD groups, the database credentials are not always overwritten. I am still trying to figure out the pattern (if there is one).

 

Any ideas or suggestion will be helpful.

 

Thank you very much
