Monitoring Server security options

Updated: 2009-04-30

Monitoring Server provides the following authentication options to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services and other types of data sources.

  • Application pool identity   The process identity is used for any connections to data sources.

  • Connect per user   The logged-in user identity is used to connect to a data source. Delegation is required for the process to connect on behalf of users.

  • Custom data   (Exclusive to Analysis Services.) An Analysis Services connection string property is used to allow Monitoring Server to pass an authenticated user name. Analysis Services can use this property to define the set of data that is returned. The initial connection to Analysis Services is made by using the application pool identity.
