OWC11 - Accessing MS Analysis Server via HTTP

[dstgermain]

I am using the OWC11 Pivot Table control to load cubes from MS Analysis
Server. Everything was working fine until our security group changed
the policies on the user machines and diabled the option to access data
sources across domains. My users are now receiving the 'Safety
settings on this machine prohibit accessing a data source on another
domain' message when trying to load a cube'. I have tested the http
access to the cube from Excel and the web access works.

What I am trying now is to return the xml document for the cube via a
webservice. This document contains the connection string for the cube
in the format: http://servername/olap.
The file msolap.asp is contained in the olap directory.

If I enable the 'access data sources across domains' option everything
works and the cube loads. If I disable the option the error message
'Safety settings on this machine prohibit accessing a data source on
another domain' message when trying to load a cube' is still displayed.

Can anyone provide any information on what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hi,

Are your server & clients on different domains ?
The error message seems to be explicit ...
