    Is there a way to bypass the domain login window when I call the reports from my asp.net website.

    My website already has a login window that I handle programatically.

    Thanks,

    I believe that you need to set the Report Server Virtual Directory to allow anonymous connections. But I could be wrong.

    I believe that you need to set the Report Server Virtual Directory to allow anonymous connections. But I could be wrong.

    With all of the caveats as to how easy it would be to bypass said website to get to these reports with NO authentication - that would work. Of course, depending on what is in these reports, turning off authentication could be a HUGE security hole.

    It might be better to use the ASP.NET forms authentication modules to set up the appropriate security so that you can close that loophole. Or read into impersonation and make it work for the SSRS pieces (i.e. log in to your portal, impersonate some token to run the report).
