How to Link a User to a Windows User
If you use Windows 2003 as your network operating system and your users are already defined in a 2003 directory, then you can enable Windows authentication in MicroStrategy to allow users access without having to enter their login information.
To use Windows authentication you must create users in the MicroStrategy environment and then link them to Windows users. For detailed information about linking MicroStrategy users to Windows users, see the Authentication section of the System Administration Help.
The Apple Safari web browser does not support Windows authentication with MicroStrategy Web.
