In-Depth Information
When HTTP connectivity is set up, we will be able to connect to Analysis Services
using any client application, but instead of giving the Analysis Services server name
in the connection, we instead give the URL of the virtual directory and the DLL.
Accessing a cube via HTTP can result in slower query performance when compared
to a standard TCP/IP connection because the translation from TCP/IP to HTTP will
require time and will increase packet size. Nevertheless, when the user has cannot
connect directly to Analysis Services, using IIS is the only other option available.
Managing security
So far, we have only discussed how to set up security from the point of view of the
developer. However, once the roles have been defined, security will still need to be
managed: new users will appear, some users will disappear, and users may change
which roles they are members of.
