Forgot to post in Jan 2017, busy with year end stuff.
Here is something I stumbled upon recently. Trying to connect to Planning or Essbase and the Workspace(For Planning) or EAS(For Essbase) console would be hung up.
After troubleshooting and Oracle support help, we discovered that the MSAD Support Groups flag was checked during Shared Services configuration. Once that was un-checked and services restarted, things start back to work again.
Version 11.1.2.4
Login into Shared Services
Then Administration
Then Configure Directories
Then pick your AD directory
Then click on MSAD Group Configuration
Uncheck the Support Groups and then restart your entire environment
Good Luck.
Thanks,
