Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services

To connect, set the Url property to a valid Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services endpoint and provide authentication. The provider must connect to Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services instances hosted over HTTP with XMLA access. See the Microsoft documentation to configure HTTP access to Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services.

Authenticating to Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services

The provider supports the major authentication schemes, including HTTP and Windows.

Set AuthScheme to use the following authentication types.

Anonymous Authentication

If anonymous authentication is available, set AuthScheme to none to avoid authentication.

Basic

Set SQL Server database User and Password and set AuthScheme to "BASIC".

Windows (NTLM)

Set the Windows User and Password and set AuthScheme to "NTLM".

Kerberos

Please see Using Kerberos for details on how to authenticate with Kerberos.

Securing Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Connections

By default, the provider attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store. To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats.
