Remote Connection to Analysis Services using VPN

Given that MS Analysis Services does not support standard SQL Server
Authentication (thus requiring windows user accounts), is it possible for a
remote client PC, connected to a network using a VPN, to be authenticated on
an Analysis Server if it is not part of the host domain? If so, how can this
be achieved?
Is there a way of using the anonymous login account?
If not, is this not a strange inconsistency with SQL server, and are there
plans to address this with Yukon?
Many Thanks
Simon KirkI am running into the same problem. Currently we are kludging this by
creating a "pass-thru" user on the server with the same uid/pwd as the
client. Also, the user has to be an admin on the Analysis Server box. I'd
love to know if anyone has found a more direct way to remotely register an
Analysis Server.
