Actually the AuthenticationMode in the DISCOVER_DATASOURCES response is
informational rather than anything else. It does not affect the roles in
AS2k at all.

Security must be set on the virtual directory of the XMLA SDK installation
by enabling some form of authentication there. Note that if you turn
"Anonymous authentication" on, it overrides the other modes -- so make sure
you turn it off if you want to use security.

HTH,
Akshai
