Running into similar problems... Not Discoverer, though... Anyway - make sure you have all patches - 10.1.2 is not the latest; sorry about that.
Then again - Disco and SSO seem to have problems, that will not be gone until a new release this summer.

Partner application should do the trick - if not, give external a try - that should just store uid/passwd, and pass then in a call.
