Available MicroStrategy Starter Kits
External Security Module
In order to satisfy the scrutiny resulting from internal security processes as well as external legislation such as Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA, corporations are unifying their user models and implementing single sign-on solutions, bio-metric authentication, and other custom security technologies to manage access to sensitive information.
The MicroStrategy SDK allows the integration of these stringent authentication and authorization rules into the MicroStrategy BI platform. The SDK provides documentation and samples of an External Security Module that allows developers to integrate MicroStrategy with any identity management application.
Web Services Development Kit
Web Services represent an important step in integrating distributed applications by allowing programs written in different languages across disparate platforms to communicate with each other. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and XML are core technologies of the Web services architecture.
The MicroStrategy Web Services Development Kit, a component of the MicroStrategy SDK, facilitates the deployment of MicroStrategy information and functionality as a Web Service. Using widely adopted and standard Internet technologies such as XML, simple object access protocol (SOAP), Web services description language (WSDL) and universal description, discovery, and integration (UDDI) to build connections between MicroStrategy software and multiple other applications, customers and partners can easily integrate MicroStrategy functionality into their existing applications. All MicroStrategy Office functionality is exposed and consumed as a Web service.
