Background :
Am trying to connect to the OLAP Cubes from a Web Service.
The Web Service resides on my local machine, while the Analysis Server resid
es on a different domain.
Users have been created on the Analysis Server, and roles have been defined
for the cube am trying to access.
The processModel is configured with proper user id.
Problem :
When I do that I get an error "Undefined Error".
To my knowledge I have all the access to the Analysis Server, but still am n
ot able to connect to cube.
Could someone please help me resolve this as its very crucial and is hamperi
ng our to a great extent.
Thanks,
SrinivasThe user is created on the Analysis Server, and a role too has been defined
for the user, giving access to the cube.
For example :
Let us suppose my network user id is "ABC". Then a user called "ABC" is crea
ted on the Analysis server, and has been assigned a role.
Srinivas|||microsoft.public.sqlserver.olap is probably a better newsgroup for this, but
my initial guess is that your problem revolves around the statement below
"different domain". AS only supports Windows authentication in direct
client-server mode. You have a few options. First, you could use the old NT
matching-username password trick. If you have *local accounts* on both
systems with the same username password, then you will be able to connect
even if the two machines are in untrusted domains. You will have
administrative issues keeping the two passwords in-sync, but the connection
will go through OK. Second, if you are running on Enterprise Edition, you
can use http access. This will require you to run IIS on the AS server (see
BOL on how to configure it and look at the white paper
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...ql_datapump.asp for
more technical details.
Hope that helps.
