Ralf.
SSAS 2005 has a new feature that allows Anonymous connections which may
be
configured through the SQL 2005 Surface Area Configurator. We're
considering
using this feature for the same circumstances you are: an internet based
application consuming data from analysis services where integrated
authentication is not possible as the users are outside the organization.

Hope this helps.

A little bit, but not completly.

I tried out the trial version of SSAS 2000 Enterprise, and after some
playing around with IIS config and such I could access it from outside
using Excel and HTTP. I set my IIS to do Windows Authentication, so user
has to enter credentials. IIS then impersonates this user to the cube role
security configuration, so I could even configure the access rights there.
VERY GOOD, exactly as I need!

But: the Standard editions of SS2000 and 2005 are already available in our
package from microsoft, so if I can built on these features and avoid
going "Enterprise" it will save quite some money...

SSAS 2005 now offers Anonymous connections. Wouldn't I get that with
AS2000 too if I set my IIS to NOT authenticate (anonymous access)? I did
not test what happens if I did that, but it is not really my problem: What
I need to know is if HTTP is available with 2005 Enterprise only or
already in Standard?
