Configure Authentication for P4S 2007
 
Configure the SSO Service in Windows
Configure the SSO Service in SharePoint
Create SSO Applications for P4S
Configure SSO Token Server Names for P4S
Disable Cookie Forwarding for Business Analytics Server Overrides for Sites
The tasks you need to complete to configure authentication between Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint (P4S) and Business Analytics Servers depends on the authentication plan you need to implement:
*For SSO + Token Authentication, you use the SSO Service to manage user credentials for Business Analytics Servers. In addition, this uses tokens managed by the Token Service from P4S and authentication configuration in Business Analytics Server connections.
Configuration steps include:
1. If the SSO Service is not already configured, you must Configure the SSO Service in Windows and Configure the SSO Service in SharePoint.
2. Once the SSO Service is configured, you Create SSO Applications for P4S to hold user credentials for the Business Analytics Servers in your environment.
3. Then Configure SSO Token Server Names for P4S to manage user token IDs.
4. And finally configure authentication properties for each Business Analytics Server connection. See Configure Business Analytics Server Connections in SharePoint 2007 for instructions.
*For SSO + Cookie Authentication, you must configure cookie forwarding authentication in the properties for each Business Analytics Server connection. See also Configure Business Analytics Server Connections in SharePoint 2007 for instructions.
Cookie forwarding is enabled for user connecton overrides by default, so no additional configuration is required.
*For No SSO, Manual Authentication, you must:
*Clear all authentication properties in each Business Analytics Server connection. See also Configure Business Analytics Server Connections in SharePoint 2007.
