Business Analytics Administration : Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint (P4S) : SharePoint Credentials for Mashables and Mashups
SharePoint Credentials for Mashables and Mashups
 
Add or Manage SharePoint Credentials in Your Business Analytics Hub Profile
Add a Global Attribute for Agent-Based SSO Authentication with SharePoint
The mashable information sources or mashups in Business Analytics that work with information from SharePoint use SharePoint credentials to retrieve information when they are run. The SharePoint credentials that are used when a mashable or mashup is run can be either:
NTLM or Basic Authentication
SSO Authentication
The current user’s SharePoint credentials.
This is used in mashables when both:
*The user has created Business Analytics User Attributes with their SharePoint credential information in their Business Analytics Hub profile. See Add or Manage SharePoint Credentials in Your Business Analytics Hub Profile for instructions.
*The mashable was configured to use the current’s user credentials when it was registered.
If the mashable has been configure to use the current user’s credentials (the Business Analytics User Attributes), but the user has not created these credentials in Business Analytics, either:
*The service account credentials for this connection are used instead, when the connection is configured to use default credentials.
*The connection fails if the connection is configured to use only user credentials.
An HTTP header with user identity information that is validated by an agent-based single sign-on (SSO) solution.
With SSO authentication, you must Add a Global Attribute for Agent-Based SSO Authentication with SharePoint to identify the HTTP headers or request parameters that provide user identity information. The Business Analytics Server uses this attribute to determine which HTTP headers or parameters to forward to SharePoint when mashables or mashups are run.
The credentials supplied when the mashable was registered or the mashup was created.
These credentials can be either:
*Credentials for the user that registered the mashable or created the mashup.
*The service account credentials configured for the connection to this SharePoint server if the connection is configured to use default credentials or to use only the service account.
Each SharePoint server connection creates Business Analytics global attributes under that server name with these service account credentials.
