SSAS and Anonymous Access

    Hi All,

    How do we set up anonymous access in SSAS. I understand the default is Windows. The article below makes me believe we can configure SSAS to connect through anonymous access, but has no information on how to set that up.

    Is there a workaround to be able to connect to SSAS in a production environment other than using Windows Authentication? Like a SQL authentication.

    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Suri

    Why should users connect directly to SSAS? (which has only windows authentication. You didn't post the link to the article that claims otherwise)

    Users should browse the cube through a reporting application (SSRS, Excel, Cognos, ...). You can handle anonymous authentication through the reporting application.
