Re: Can SSAS 2005 work in Novell network?



I did this once back in 2002, but it was not very pretty.

At the time the Novell login screen had the ability to specify a
windows account which was used to log on to the local machine. If you
create a local account on the server that is running SSAS with an
identical username and password to the account on the workstation, it
should "map" the two accounts. If you have assigned the accounts on
the server to the relevant OLAP roles you should be good to go.

Hello Vimas,

Nice to see you again in the newsgroup. SSAS only supports Windows
authenction on the server side. Therefore, usually clients cannot access AS
without proper credential by using correct authentication method such as
NTLM or kerberos. You can use Novell if you can somehow get Windows to
treat you clients as having valid Windows NT credentials. Your network
administrators might be aware of some various options.

As you know, to work with AS in a "domain free" environment, you 'd better
use an http-connection (OLAP over http) between client and server. Please
see "Domain Structure Issues" part of the following link for more details:

If anything is unclear or you have any comments or feedback, please feel
free to let's know. Thank you
