Report Security: CAnt view report

Hi,
We have some websites. We want to attch a link on each wrbsite which would
take the users to a different reports. Please suggest what will be the best
security mechansism for this scenario..
Also, I was trying to implement the simplest security mechansim,i.e I craetd
a user called User1 and created a Group called Group1. I added the User1 to
be a member of Group1. Now from Reports Manager, I assigned the Browser role
to the Group1. Also, in the virtual directory for Reports & Report Server, I
enabled Integrated Windows Authentication. Now, when I try to view the
report, I get a prompt for username & passowrd. So when I type User1 as
username & the password asscoated with the user, i cant view the report. I
get the error : The Page cant be dispalyed. Also when i click a the link
Reports.com because that is the domain we are using for our Reports.I
get...You are not authorized to viw the reports...
Plz help with this issue.

pmudHi,
I still need your suggestion about which security mechansim should be used
in our scenario but I figured out the second question of my previous post,
which is the basic sercuirty mechansim for a report. It was not displaying
the report coz for the user account in Local Users I had checked the check
box, "User should change password on next logon". When I cleared that check
boz and didnt check any of the check boxes, i was able to view the reports.
Any suggestion would be helpful about which security mechansim should be
used.
Thanks
