Azure Analysis Services Connection over HTTPS

Question

Is there a way to set up Azure Analysis Services to accept connections over HTTPS with basic authentication?
This was easily done with SSAS hosted on a virtual machine and IIS in the past.

Answer 1

Hello @Daniel Zielinski ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

Unfortunately, Basic or Anonymous (requires configuration for HTTP access) is not supported in Azure Analysis services. It is supported in SQL Server Analysis Services.

Reference: Authentication methodologies supported by Analysis Services

Azure Analysis Services uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for identity management and user authentication. Any user creating, managing, or connecting to an Azure Analysis Services server must have a valid user identity in an Azure AD tenant in the same subscription.

User authentication is handled by Azure Active Directory (AAD). When logging in, users use an organization account identity with role-based access to the database. User identities must be members of the default Azure Active Directory for the subscription that the server is in.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
