Hi ,

I have configured analysis service 2005 on windows 2003 server . I am
able to
connect to my analysis service using excel PTS client . Now i have to port
the same service over HTTPS . I have installed the certifcates correctly and
able to
run the aspx/html pages correctly over the https . But when i try to connect
to
analysis service by (https://<servername>/OLAP/msmdpump.dll) on the browser
or excel it gives connection error . I am using basic authentication
currently.
Please help me . Relevent document explaining HTTPS connection for Analysis
service would be a great help .

Regards
Krishna

do you use a valid certificate for your SSL?

I Have valid certificate which i have installed using IIS Certificate
creation wizard. normal pages are rendered OK using https but when i try to
invoke
msmdpump.dll , it starts giving errors . Does excel have the capability to
decrypt
128 bit SSL data coming from IIS server ?

Regard
Krishna

are you prompted for a login/password in excel?
or have you saved the login/password in the connection string?

I presume that you have tested the HTTP access and everything works fine
here. (without SSL)
But have you tested HTTP + Basic authentication?

have you try to use the IP address instead-of the DNS name?
what the IIS log files says? do you see the access? what is the HTTP
response?

Thanks Jeje for your help , Certificate was not correct actually . When i put
the local certificate issuer into trusted CA list things worked fine . well
I was using basic authentication . Thanks once more for your help
