OLAP Connection Error

Hi,
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.

OLAP Analysis Services - Remote Connection issue

Hi!

does anybody tell me how to connect remotely to an OLAP Analysis Server?

I have defined a local windows account on the OLAP server and added it to AS cube roles.

Despite that I still can't connect remotely to the AS server.

Thanks,

Chris

If this is about connecting with SQL Management Studio (or BI Development Studio) to Analysis Services 2005:

- you need to have a Windows account in the domain of the 2 machines (the AS2005 machine and the client machine from where you want to connect remotely)

- temporarily make the user a server administrator on the AS2005 (to eliminate the potential permission problems); you can do this with SQL Management Studio, right click on the server item -> Properties -> Security

- run SQL Management Studio on the client machine as that user ("Run As..." should be fine, no need to login to Windows as that user)

- if the connection fails, then please check the firewall(s), allow incoming connections for msmdsrv.exe (the AS2005 server)

- if the connection succeeds, then downgrade the user from server administrator; it is enough to grant read definition permission for the database intended; to do this, run SQL Management Studio from an AS2005 admin account and then add the user as a member of the database role

Odd Rights Issue

SQL Server 2000 Server at SP3a
WinXP SQL Server 2000 Client at SP4
Win2K SQL Server 2000 Client at SP3a
Identical local user account setup on both clients using peer-to-peer
windows authentication to server.
The account on Win2K client at SP3a can successfully open pre-existing
transformation tasks in DTS.
The account on WinXP client at SP4 cannot open pre-existing transforamtion
tasks in DTS (but can create new ones okay).
What gives? Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
ChuckI forgot to include the actual error message in WinXP client:
Error Source : Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error Description : [DNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server
does
not exist or access denied.
WinXP client has no difficulty registering the server and doing other
functions. Since exact same account works on another client, leads me to
believe something about either XP or SP4 that's causing the problem. Can
SP4 cleint connect to SP3a server?
