When this type is selected for the connection, the end user will be
prompted with a dialog box to enter his username and password when
the Voyager application initiates the connection.
b. SSO (single sign-on)
c.
With the single sign-on option selected, the user signs on once to the
InfoView application with his credentials, and then is able to connect to
the back-end servers in Voyager without having to enter the username
and password again. The Voyager application (through the MDAS
Server) automatically retrieves the credentials from the current
InfoView session and passes them to the server. Voyager application
initiates the connection.
User Specified
With this option selected, the administrator enters a specific username

and
password which will be stored as part of the connection object. The
stored
username and password will always be used to authenticate to the
back-end
server when this connection object is accessed from a Voyager
application.
Like single sign-on, this authentication type does not require the end
user

to enter a username and password in the Voyager application.

However,
because the same credentials are used for every user who accesses
the
cube through this connection, this option is not always suitable.
