Cannot view reports but able to see ReportManager from different domian RS2000

  • My RS was installed on server which is accessed from 2 domains (lets named Domain1 and Domain2).

    Server belongs to Domain1 and RS service has admin privileges on Domain1 as well. Viewing reports on Domain1 cause no problem. But I have users in Domain2. They have got RUSER server role to access to RS with Windows Auth.

    When I open reports on Domain2 I could see Report Manager home page, but when I click report I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

    Is it possible to have access from 2 different domains to RS?

    Any help appreciate.

  • I would work under the assumption that it is not a an RS permissions issue unless the Cannot Display message specifies because the user does not have rights.

    You should be able to view reports across domains if there is trust between the domains and the cross domain users have rights to get to your web server hosting RS.

    How are you managing the RS security? Do you have a group in Domain1 that you have granted RS Browser rights or are you adding individual users to the RS roles? In your situation I would create a group in Domain1 and a group in Domain2 and put the Domain2 group in the Domain1 group then the Domain2 admins can add users and they will automatically be added in Domain1. So it would look like this:

    Active Directory Domain1

    Group-RSBrowsers

    -Contains Domain1 users and Domain2\RSBrowsers

    Active Directory Domain2

    Group-RSBrowsers

    Report Server

    Role-Browser

    -Contains Domain1\RSBrowsers

    This should allow the Domain2 users access to the reports without issue.

  • Thank you Jack for reply.

    As I wrote, my RS secutity is based on local server groups. On RS Windows server in Domain1 I had created RSUSER group where users from Domain2 are collected.

    I will try your concept which looks more reasonable than my 😉
