Hiding or Encrypting parameter value in report server url

    Hi ,

    I'm accessing the reports from my web application by forming the url like below

    http://localhost/reportserver?/TestReports/Report1&WO_Id=1

    where WO_Id is the report parameter.

    Now in the address bar of the report server user can easily change the parameter value and they can able to see the report for other values.

    I like to restrict that.

    Kindly help me to solve this issue

    Hi,

    if you can change the query of your report and the table it queries isn't to big, you can try to hide the easily guessed value for your parameter in a hash function like so:

    declare @id int = 1;

    select cast(HASHBYTES('MD5',CAST(@id as nvarchar(50)) )as bigint) as ID_HASH

    The problem is, that you have to compare it in your WHERE clause against hash values for all rows of your column, which can be quite an overhead...
