Integrating Visio with SharePoint - Visio Services Quick Guide - page 58

■ Because you will be using SSS for your Visio diagram to connect to the SQL
server, you will need to enter the user credentials of those who have permissions to the
VisioServices database from where you will load data. It must be a low-privilege user, not
an administrator.

Note

The previous step creates a new SSS Application ID that can be used to connect to SQL
Server from service applications that require additional authentication to retrieve data.

Using Visio with SQL Server and SSS
Now let's configure Visio Services to use the new Application ID:

1. Go to Central Administration ➤ Application Management ➤

Service Applications ➤ Manage Service Applications and
choose Visio Graphics Service.

2. Click on the Global Settings in the External Data section and

enter VisioServices under Application ID (Figure 4-38 ).
Click OK.

Figure 4-38. Set the External Data Unattended Service Account Applicaion ID

■ Application IDs are set for each service application, such as Visio graphics
Service. You can also have two Visio graphics Service applications set for one web application,
one default and the other a Custom Visio graphics service application. For that, create a new
Application ID with different credentials and set them to a new Custom Service Application. You
can then add the new custom service application to the web application Service Connections.
