I know its a bit strange that we would want to configure the Power BI SSAS connector to point to an HTTP msmdpump, but it allows us to do something we can't do when going directly to the server. How...
Thanks for the response. I would think it is minimal work to make msmdpump.dll work, but I can't say since it's not my code. As far as I know, all other Microsoft products that work with SSAS connections support msmdpump.dll, so for consistency alone I think it would good. Translating identities would be nice because it provides any provider who is hosting an SSAS based solution for a client to provide data via Power BI without having a robust and expensive web API that the big guys have (SendGrid, Zendesk, etc).
