Connecting Pulse to a TM1 instance with Windows security (mode 2 and 3)

This article explains how to connect Pulse to an IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) instance using security mode 2 and 3 (Windows Authentication).

Prerequisites:

• The server where the TM1 instances are located needs to be added in Pulse (connecting a Pulse Monitor).
• You need an active directory user who has ⚠️ Admin access on the TM1 instances.

At a minimum, the Pulse Application Server service should be running under a Windows Service account, configured with an Admin privilege in TM1. It is recommended to use the same account as the one running the TM1 instances.

Once the services updated, just restart Pulse and in the Pulse instance settings (Administration > Instance settings) for each instance tick the option Windows and click the Save button:

The next step is to go to Administration > Update Documentation and execute the documentation for this new instance.
