In order to integrated two entity ( SFDC and Aspire ) we need to perform below steps : 

Aspire admin side : https://help.anaplan.com/32739916-3598-41d4-9025-12b95ef02c33-Salesforce.com-Administrator-Tasks

Anaplan admin side : https://help.anaplan.com/67907af1-6b8a-4a3d-af16-d43d02a4f9f1-Anaplan-Administrator-Tasks

 

For User Authentication what anaplan is saying '(Make sure that each Salesforce.com user name matches the Anaplan login name, which is typically the user's work email address.)'

 

But honestly, I have seen in my all previous companies that username is not exactly as email id in Salesforce. Because username is unique and what if 1 person with 1 email need to have two different user profile for internal purpose (example marketing + support ). Then either he need to create 2 email, which is not feasible solution.  

 

In REST call for authentication, anaplan should have feasibility of using custom field or other field rather than standard username. 

I vote for having a new custom field for authenitcation rather than standard field
