Provider Configuration Names

When configuring Analytic Services to work with a security platform, you need logic to separate the supported authentication-provider configurations. This logic is provided by using configuration names.

Configuration names do not have to match actual server names; they are for configuration-ID purposes only.

Each configuration name, however, must be the same as the name specified for it in the search order section.

By viewing a limited expansion of the configuration file using a browser that supports XML, you can see that the provider names in the provider sections match those used in the search order section. The provider sections do not have to be arranged in the same order as the chosen search order.

If you are using Windows NT LAN Manager, change ntlm1 to the name that you want to use to indicate the configuration for this Windows NT LAN Manager provider.

If you are using LDAP, change ldap1 to the name that you want to use to indicate the configuration for this LDAP provider.

If you are using Microsoft Active Directory, change msad1 to the name that you want to use to indicate the configuration for this Microsoft Active Directory provider.
