Hello,
We are trying to avoid the login pop-up when using the report viewer control
from an internet facing solution. Sorry it is long, but here is the scenario.
ServerA (the webserver, windows 2000 server, v1.1 framework) is serving a
legacy ASP application that we have added an ASP.NET page that uses the
report viewer control to connect to ServerB.
ServerB (the report server, windows 2003 server SP1, RS Standard Edition
SP2) there is a public IP that is Nat's to a local IP of ServerB. This is
what the report viewer control uses from ServerA. ServerB has a local user
that has full access to the reports that need to be delivered.
When you first try to access the report server (ServerB) from the internet
it prompts for a username and password. Once the local user's credentials
from ServerB have been entered we are able to view all reports until the
browser is closed. We have RS 2000 Standard Edition so there is no option for
a custom security extension.
Is there anyway that we can avoid forcing the web users to type in the
username and password that was setup on ServerB? I have tried everything I
can think of and have had no success. There are many security issues with
making that RS login public using URL access and even more security issues by
making the report server allow anonymous access. I need a solution!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!how your users are authenticated on the serverA?
(form authentication or basic authentication?)
The reportviewer webcontrol is a ASP.Net 2.0 control.
do you use another version?
the .Net 2 version is great, because this version will do what you want to
do!
in .Net 1.1...
To solve your issue, you have to intercept and process the reports using
your own webpages and not authorize the user to access your report server
directly.
(the user must go through your own pages, so you control which credential
will be used to access reportserver instead of prompting the user)

> Thanks in advance!|||Users on serverA are authenticated with a custom SQL login from the ASP
pages. The entire site on serverA is classic ASP. We are trying to add the
ASPX page with the report viewer control. We are able to determine if the
users are authenticated once they hit the ASPX/Report Viewer page.
We are using the 1.1 version of the report viewer control that came with SP1
or SP2 for RS 2000.
Once the web user accesses our ASPX page with the report viewer control how
do we set the credentials that access the report server via URL? That is
were everything stops working as planned and the standard login pop-up shows.
You can type the credentials of the user we want them to access with and
everything works fine from that point forward. But we want to set the
credentials in the code-behind of the page and not make the credentials
publicly available.
Any help you could provide to set the credentials that will be used by the
report viewer control would be greatly appreciated. I have poured many hours
into these reports and the integration with the classic ASP site. The
reports use custom assemblies to dynamically build the SQL statements, etc.
but now I can't get internet access to them using the report viewer without
manually typing in the credentials!
Thank you very much.

this IFrame "redirect" the user to RS directly.
To override this issue you have to open your pages on the ServerA web site
and disallow the users to access the serverb directly.
To do this, you have to render the reports by yourself using your own ASPX
page(s) (you have to call the SOAP API and not use the URL access)
another way...
look at this reverse proxy tool:

Do you have links to any samples using the SOAP API? Do you still have the
option to show the toolbar, hide parameters, etc. like the URL access?

there is samples on the web and in RS books

>>|||Hello,
I just wanted to confirm that there will be no limitations using the SOAP
API with the Standard version of reporting services. The reason I ask is
that in many of the different solutions I have tried the "this is not
supported in this version" has come up. I tried the logonuser method
connecting to the web service and received a similar error. I was trying to
connect and logon prior to connecting with the report viewer control hoping
that would save the authentication like manually typing in the credentials
does. You only have to manually type them in once, but that is too many!
The sad thing about it is that with all the hours wasted trying to get the
Standard Edition to work we probably could have simply purchased the
Enterprise Edition, used forms authentication and deployed the solution
months ago!
Thanks for all your assistance!

the link sent to you can be used with any version of RS
when you call the RS webservice, create a specific credential or use the
impersonate account setup in the web.config file
read this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/SecNetch10.asp
(the section called "Using specific credentials")
so your application continue to use your own authentication system and
you'll control all the access to RS through your application.
The only limitation:
you can't use the User!UserID in your reports, you have to change this by a
a standard report parameter and fill this parameter in your web application
without displaying this parameter to the end user.
