  <p>I tried using the Basic Authentication or Windows authentication for http connectivity.</p>
  
  <p>But while accessing it from management studio i take server name as </p>
  
  <p>http:/localhost/c:/inetpub/wwwroot/olap/msmdpump.dll</p>
  
  <p>But it gave the error.</p>
  
  <p>The connection either timed out or was lost. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)</p>
  
  <p>The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. (System) </p>
  
  <p>Can you explain how this could be solved? thanks</p>
