Hi,
I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services on one of my servers. Everytime i am trying to access the reports, IE is prompting for user name and password. Could someone let me know how to avoid this prompt? I am using BasicAuthentication.
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsBasic />

If it ios not an extranet server, I would use Windows authentication.

Is your Report Server configured for your Windows login?
You may wish to check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156034.aspx.
One small trick: Under Start (or Windows or whatever it is in Win7) > Accessories > System Tools right-click on Internet Explorer (no Add-ons) and select Run as administrator.
Hit http://yourServer:8080/reports
Then follow the instructions in the linked MSDN article.
Good luck.
I will be back online ~8 PM Pacific Time.
