Analysis Server on Internet / Intranet -

We are trying to deploy an application using Analysis Server Cubes.
The fron-end will use an intermediate aplication server that will
connect directly to Analysis Server. Cubes will be implemented using
"cell security" to distinguish between public data and private data.
For the Internet side we will not rely on Windows accounts, so we will
need to implement a security interface that wiil map each registered
user to a defined-profile that will have a Windows account. For
intranet Intgrated security will be deployed only at the IIS entry (no
registration process defined, login using credentials). If the user
has access to the applicatiion it will be also mapped to a profile in
the same way as defined for the internet.
1 ) Do we need wo diferent deployments in both internet and intranet ?
2 ) The application server that talks to Analysis server runs under
the control of IIS and can pass to AS the role defined internally in
the profile for each user. Is there anything specific about passing
credentials between the two servers ? Do AS need to be configured for
HTTP access (if so can we use the same installation for the intranet)? |
