The Sample .xml File

This topic shows a sample XML configuration file that contains all the required elements (XML tags) that you must configure to enable external authentication for Analytic Services.

Sample values that you should modify are shown as bold links. Click on any link to learn how to configure the associated element.

Note: The css-full.xml file that is installed to a subdirectory of HYPERION_HOME may be slightly different from the sample below, which is used for illustrative purposes in this documentation. You can either use these instructions to edit css-full.xml, or you can write your own XML file based on the sample below.

For additional, optional configuration elements, see the help topic for An Expanded Sample .xml File.
