Issue when using Promotion Management with an AD account

Hi,

We are trying to use an AD account to manage the promotion of items between the environments. We have checked that users works fine when using an Enterprise Authentication method to log in but when using the AD account promotion jobs fails as described on the following KBA

1385980 - Logging into LCM using Windows AD authentication throws an error: Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed, Promotion Status=Failure: Logon failure to Destination CMS:

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1385980

But after applying steps described on it problem persists. I have also even removed the Entreprise alias considering the other relevant KBA

2106924 - Promotion Management throws HTTP Status 500 - java.lang.NullPointerException:getInfoObjectByCUID when using a seperate account name and alias to authenticate

with no success.

I suspect that may be am I not applying properly the recommendations of KBA 1385980

This how my APS-LCM command line parameters box looks like (changes in bold)

-server -Dcom.sap.vm.tag=BIENT1.APS_LCM -Djava.awt.headless=true "-Dbobj.enterprise.home=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/" "-Dbobj.javaserver.home=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/java/pjs/container/" "-Dboe.common.dir=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/java/lib/" "-Dboe.external.dir=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/java/lib//external" "-Dboe.bundles.dir=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/java/lib//bundles" "-Djava.io.tmpdir=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/java/pjs/container/temp" "-Dbusinessobjects.logs.home=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/" "-XtraceFile=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/aps_BIENT1.APS_LCM_jvm.log" "-XX:GCHistoryFilename=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/aps_BIENT1.APS_LCM_gc.prf" "-Xloggc:D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/aps_BIENT1.APS_LCM_gc.log" -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:LogGcMaxFileCount=3 -XX:LogGcMaxFileSize=5m "-XX:ErrorFile=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/aps_BIENT1.APS_LCM_dump_@PID.log" -Xms3g -Xmx3g -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseParallelOldGC -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError "-XX:HeapDumpPath=D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/logging/" -XX:+ExitVMOnOutOfMemoryError -Xrs -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=false -jar "D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/java/pjs/container/bin/boeserver.jar" -workdir "D:/BO/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/java/pjs/container/work" -javaArgs Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:/Windows/bsclogin.conf,Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:/Windows/krb5.ini

(I have previously copied both files -bsclogin.cong, krb5.ini- into server path.

I am doing something wrong?
