I have a report with a password parameter that I want to hide with a character (*), because I don't want others to see what a user is typing for this parameter.
I'm looking for help here because I have no idea how to do this in Reporting Services, unlike in C# where you can set the PasswordChar property for a textbox and it will hide what the user is typing.
Thanks

There is no way to mask entries into a parameter field and additionally any parameter values get passed in clear text and are logged.
I would suggest looking at integrated security on the report itself, like NTusernames and their associated rights.
Thanks

Your other option is writing a custom aspx page with the parameters and calling the report passing the parameters and making password a hidden parameter.
