Different Performance on different XMLA Authentications

Hi,

I am using XMLA to connect to SSAS2005. By using different authentication methods in virtual directory, It returns the same result but different speed.

When I using Anonymous Account IUSR_MachineName, the query will return in 1 seconds. But if i using Integrated Windows Authentication, the query will take approximately 5 seconds to return the result. Any Idea?

I have using SQl server Profiler to trace the step. both of it using same number of steps. The different is if using anonymous, then some of the step is return 0 in duration columns. While if using windows authentication, it will longer. But the result of the step is the same.

So, Any Idea? Or does anyone face it before? Thanks.

The difference is most likely caused by the amount of time that it takes the IIS/SSAS server(s) to talk to the domain controller to check the credentials of the user. With anonymous, it is using a fixed local account for which it does not have to do this. Do you have anyone that could help you check the domain side of things?
