In that analysis services uses NT authentication to
controll cube access, what is required for a Novell
Netware client to access a microsoft hosted cube?

thanks

You could use HTTP connectivity - passing the username/password through HTTP
(protected by SSL) or using client certificates.

Is there a configuration where I enable some type of
anonymous logon, so the user will not have to actually
enter the additional account info?

thanks

Thanks

Yes - if you don't have security restrictions on the cubes, and anybody can
see them - you can connect anonymously. For that - modify connection string
on the client to include "SSPI=anonymous". The server will have to be
Windows 2000 or higher. If the server is Windows XP or higher, you will need
explicitly add "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" to the role (since on XP,
Everyone may exclude it).
