DNS entry for SSRS

  • Hope I am in the right place for this. I am relatively new to SSRS and have a new server setup for serving my reports. Call it myservername.com/reports. I would like to create a DNS entry to point myReports.com to myservername.com/reports, but I am not having much luck. any thoughts? Thanks

  • You could create a DNS entry (myReports.com) for myservername.com. For the URL redirection part (without /reports), it has to be done at the IIS level. But since SSRS 2008 and above don't require IIS, you may have to install IIS in the SSRS server if it's not already installed. If SSRS is going to be the only app running in the server after installing IIS, you could do a server level http redirection in IIS to redirect all requests to myReports.com/reports. Else you can add a new site and do some custom coding to redirect the requests to myReports.com/reports.

    you can refer to the below links:

    SSRS still uses the same drivers that IIS uses, HTTP.sys and HTTPS.sys

    All URL configuration is done in reporting services config manager. Do not install IIS.
