Hi All,

User is accessing SSAS Cube via http msmdpump url where connection is getting redirected from sharepoint server to cube server.
ISS setting is DNS+Windows Authentication.

This was working fine until a month back and then suddenly user started getting below error:
XML Parsing failed at Line 1, column 9: DTD is prohibited

We changed ISS settings from DNS + Windows Authentication to IP+Windows Authentication:
Then encountered below error:
The following system error occurred

It is working fine when we changed ISS settings from DNS + Windows Authentication to IP+Anonymous.
And giving error whenever change setting back to 'DNS + Windows Authentication'

Anyone encountered similar scenario or can please hint/suggest anything on this?

    Hi,

    Seems same issue have been reported by other user.

    The fundamental source of the error is a "500 - Internal server error" coming from IIS. That's what you need to focus on.

    Excel’s parser (MSOLAP) isn’t expecting the first line of the server error which contains a XHTML 1.0 Strict document type:

    Also you could try other methods described in : XML parsing failed at line 1, column 9: DTD is prohibited

    Regards,
    Lukas
