Login Page in SSRS

    Hi All,

    We have a SSRS reporting solution deployed on report server. Users access them based on the security applied to them.

    They however, don't like the Idea of seeing the Report Server page directly(there are other reasons as well for this), instead they insist that they should have a custom login page (may be just a HTML page or something similar) which would have a common Group Login details, same for everyone and that distributed across the group of users. Once login then only they should be able to access the reports.

    Repeating this again to be clear - There would be only one login detail and every User would use this same login credentials for the first login page.

    Is this possible?

    Regards,

    Look at custom authentication or forms based authentication.

    But you will loose all trackability of who runs what report if you go down this route as it will potentially require an impersonation account or as you say they all login using a generic account. If your not bothered about that then ok, but if you are then I would setup the generic login page but not use a generic login for all users.

    Hi Anthony,

    Thanks for your help. Can I further request you to provide a little more info on Custom Authentication.

    I have always used SSRS in sharepoint-integrated mode and so don't have much Idea on this.

    Microsoft can explain it better than me.
