The authentication type determines whether a user connects to the mart using Windows authentication or database authentication. Windows Authentication specifies the use of Windows user names and passwords to secure database access. You must be logged onto your computer as the user who is the dbo of the database. Windows Authentication applies to Oracle Version 9i and 10g or Microsoft SQL Server (2000/2005) users.
To enable Windows authentication
The Security Manager dialog opens.
The user is assigned the security profile.
The Windows user name is added to the mart, which enables Windows authentication. The dialog closes.
Important: For Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2005, you must select Mixed Mode Authentication during the installation of the server. For Oracle Version 9i/10g, the following two parameters should be modified in the initialization file (InitSID.ora):
Remote_OS_Authent="" OS_Authent_Prefix=TRUE
