    Hi,

    We have SQL Server 2005 Reporting services in Server A and it's databases, Reportserver & ReportServertempDB in Server B. There is another application server where sharepoint has installed and from the web.config file on Sharepoint server, we have given the below details to access the Report server

    add key="ReportServerURl" value="http://servername/ReportServer" />

        <add key="User" value="scott" />

        <add key="Password" value="password" />

        <add key="Domain" value="abc" />

    we are able to access the reports from share point application. But now we want encrypt the above password and then want to decrypt that one while accessing the report server.

    Can we encrypt the windows domain account password?

    If we able to encrypt the windows domain account password, then how to decrypt that one? what code I need to use in the web.config file of the sharepoint application server

    Please advice me

    Thanks

    hi

    I need to encrypt this windows domain account password and give Browse permission in Report manager to this user and give the URL (http://servername/reportserver) to developer. And then the developer should use that encrypted password for the user 'abc\Scott' and then decrypt that to access http://servername/reportserver from their application to view the reports

    Can you give some idea where to start to implement this? Is this possible?

    thanks
