Provider User Account

For LDAP and Active Directory, the provider sections contain <userDN></userDN> tags that you use to identify a read-only user account on the appropriate external authentication provider. This enables Analytic Services to get user information from the provider when an Analytic Services user attempts to log on using external LDAP or Active Directory credentials.

If you want to provide anonymous access, you do not need this section. The following diagram highlights the relevant tags to modify (or delete) according to this topic:

Between the <userDN></userDN> and <password></password> tags, replace the sample values, cn=User Name and userPassword, with information from a user account that has read-only access to the directory stores.

Or, if you want to provide anonymous access, delete the entire <userDN></userDN> and <password></password> sections. Delete the tags and the values; do not delete only the values.
