SSRS Newbie - Advice

  • Hi,

    I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Tools to gain access to SSRS. I have also installed IIS 7.5 as I will deploying some web applications from the same server (within an internal network).

    However I hope to use windows authentication to pass through the user details without a login box to SSRS (which will eventually be embedded within my application).

    How can i set this up? Do I need to create another site in IIS (although I know SSRS 2008 doesn't use IIS)?

    I have tried to find the reportserver.config file and simply can't find it anywhere..can anyone advise to it's location.

    You will need to configure Reporting Services using the Reporting Services Configuration Tool

    Thanks for that - any more specific advice?

    I have already configured the site and I have added a few users - I can browse to these from their logins fine..however I am still struggling to get it working using reportviewer and from embedded code in my application

  • Thanks, I have already done that..it works when browsing to the pages directly from the users I have setup.

    However how do I set it up so I can browse the pages via my web application (aspx)...

    I have tried the following:

    - creating a network service user using the method above

    - I have also created a sql user for my appool.

    - I also tried adding < impersonate = true... to the web.configs of the report server and report manager

    - created a local group on the server, added the domain users and added this user using the method you mentioned - no success either..(same as adding users directly i guess)

    I guess my issue is being caused by the fact the windows authentication provided for application via IIS is not being granted the access I need on the reportserver......

  • You will also need to back up the encryption keys for DR purposes

  • ok thanks...

    I have solved my own problem by hard coding in credentials for a user with access only to the reportserver...using this forum post:
