    Hi All,

    I am new to SSRS, I need your advice.

    We are using SSRS 2008. We have SalesReports deployed to Report Server. How can we access these salesreports outside my company VPN using windows authentication. Shall i have to write an asp.net program to accomplish this task ?? Actually we have some clients who wants to access these sales reports from outside VPN and these clients don't have our company domain address like user@company.com. Please let me know if you have any idea about this.

    Thanks for your time!!

    if you have connected over VPN then your acting like your on your companies LAN so there is no issue with connecting to SSRS using your normal windows accounts

    but when you go into internet facing SSRS you will need to develop a custom solution using the report viewer controls and custom authentication

    Thanks for your reply....

    Is there any simple method to implement this functionality (ACCESSING SSRS REPORTS OUTSIDE FIREWALL/VPN)

    Instead of Deploying entire SSRS on another webserver.

    from what I remember when I was looking at this

    you need to look at the authentication methods needed for SSRS, will need custom or forms auth based, then you just add in the report viewer control to your webpage which links back to the url of the SSRS server.

    google internet facing ssrs and terms like that and it should lead you in the right direction
