Form Based Authentication + Webform Report Viewer Control
Nov 19, 2007
Hi,
I would like to know how to call a report from a report viewer control in a web application. The reporting services is forms authenticated. I've done this authentication using the sample solution given by microsoft (adding custom security extension). Now am able to view the reports from Report manager and Report server URL. But i dont know how to authenticate the user from my web application and pass the credentials to the report server to view the report in report viewer control. Can somebody help in this? its bit urgent. Thanks in advance
Do I need the report server running in order view a SSRS report in a report viewer control? I've created my report in .net and it works great when I'm viewing it in visual studio, but can I run it my web app without the report server.
I am trying to use the Report Viewer Control in an ASPX page but getting the following error "For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method". This is with September CTP of SQL Server 2005. I am not trying to set any DTD, the same report works if displayed using the WinForm viewer control...so I am not sure why this is happening. is there any samples available for using the Report Web viewer control in an aspx page? Thanks Krishna
I'm using Report Viewer Control and everything works fine. But my problem is I have the same report shown two ways, handout/grid . Handout has less columns and grid has way more.
Now how can I accomplish this task ? I was thinking maybe have two subreports within the one main and hide/unhide accordingly based on user selection of handout or grid.
The problem is all my attempts are unsuccessful.
I will really appreciate if someone can help me on this.
Hi, Im using report viewer control in my VS2005 application. Im exporting reports using the Export Functionality of report viewer control. I need to gv specific name to the excel sheet (other then the default name). Pl. help!!!
//Refresh the report in order to show it to the user.
reportViewer.RefreshReport();
The problem is that both handout and grid is diiferent, Say User Selects the grid once it always shows the grid report. Even second time you change to handout still it shows the same Grid format and I debugged it and it picks the new report path but doesn't help? The application needs to be rerun to fix it.
Can anyone explain what is causing this and how to get rid of it.
I am running an ASP.NET 2.0 Reportviewer Control with VS2005 Created reports and SQL server 2005 on my website. Users are complaining that it takes a long time for the control to load and the reports to show on their browser. I tried it and it takes longer the first time the control loads. If the user keeps generating reports, the speed problem goes away but it comes back it seems after the Cache has expired? Any ideas on what to do so the ReportViewer Control loads faster? Can I pre-load it on users machines?
I have asp,net application running on my machine.. it has report viewer control on it... But when i run the report it takes some time to generate. The report i create has around 6 pages and if i move to the next page in the report viewer i can an error that say ASP.net session is expired.. how can i fix it..
I have a report which runs in local mode and while designing the report I have placed a single image control inside the list box as I don't know before hand how many images are there :
What is the way to show all the images using the one image control inside the report viewer control. ? Can be 2 or 3 or 4.....
I have been using the reportviewer control to display my ssrs reports. However, i'm facing issues in displaying Server reports in the control. The following error show up whenevr i click on View Report.

Please help if anyone has come across something similar
Hi, i hv made a rdl having 2 tables.My requirement is to display the tables on different sheets of excel, so i hv inserted "Page Break At End" in table1. As a result im getting tables in different sheets but second table (in sheet2) is starting from 2nd row of the sheet i.e. 1st row is coming as hidden, and i want to remove this row as client feed's this excel file in some other application. If anyone is aware of the solution pl. reply ASAP.
I'm working on a web project that will display the reports in an iframe to the user. When I was using windows security It worked perfectly.
Now my boss wants me to use form based authentication instead that can authenticate against our current Active Directory. This is working perfectly and does authenticate correctly. The only problem is that when I load a report in the iframe http://myserver/reportserver/myreport-blah reporting services prompts the user to enter in windows credentials. Is there anyway to pass my form credentials to the report server so that the user doesn't have to log in again.
Both the report server and the web app are on the same server BUT in different virtual directories.
PS: I tried using the reportviewer control but it does not display things correctly. For example, I have use a multi select dropdown on the reports and it messes up the drop down when the user only has 1 selection (hiding the selection). If the user has more than one selection the drop down uses scroll bars. I would use the reportviewer control if it displayed exactly like it does when using alternate URL method.
I created some controls for filtering the report that will be displayed on the same page, but below these controls. The controls take about 200px of the top of the form, while the report will be displayed in the rest of the page.
I'm using the ReportViewer control in Async mode, so it's being rendered as an Iframe, and this is necessary because some reports will take up to a couple minutes, so I want the loading animation.
As many of you know, this type of scenario will cause two scrollbars to be shown on this Web form: one for the main form, and the other for the Iframe containing the report. To prevent this, I have html,body set to overflow:hidden. This works great at preventing the outer scrollbar from showing, and only the report has a scrollbar.
The problem is that the bottom 200px (see first paragraph above) of the report doesnt show and cant be scrolled to. Has anyone come across a solution for this situation?
I'm basically stuck either having a report with two side by side scrollbars, or a report with 1 scrollbar that cuts off the last portion of each page of a report.
As most are aware by now, the Report Viewer controls for reporting services in 12.0 and prior rely on ActiveX to work. Â This causes compatibility issues for any non-IE browser, and as of IE11 and now Windows 10 Edge browser it's causing issues for even IE. Â Research suggests that SSRS 2014 switched out to Silverlight:
[URL]
However, Silverlight uses NPAPI which is another technology for which all browsers are ending support. Â As of this writing, Chrome has already ended support. Â Similarly/Coincidentally Java support is ending as well.
My question is, what are Microsoft's plan to restore functionality such as print/search for browsers where ActiveX/Silverlight cannot be used since this support is no longer strictly a 3rd party browser situation?
I am passing the partameters to MS Report Viewer control to view the report. It is working fine with normal parameters like 'abc', 'Jon' etc. But fails with parameters having special characters like 'abc+', 'Version 1.1 Part 1', 'R1.8 RC' throws error " The parameter is missing a value"
I am doing drillthrough from ReportA to ReportB via the Date field on ReportA. In Report Manager, all is well. However, when run through a custom app using asp.net and the report viewer control, the behavior was erratic. sometimes it would work. sometimes it would merely bring up the ReportA again and i would have to click Date again and then it would work.
a coworker recommended the Report Viewer fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933137. Since the redistributable was not present in Add/Remove programs on my test box, i installed the full version. I then started up the .net app in debug and ran ReportA and drilled through to ReportB several times and could not make it fail. I was happy.
Since the redistributable was not present on the production box, i installed the full install there as well. However, the erratic report viewer behavior continued.
I decided to try runnign ReportB directly instead of via the drill through from ReportA. ReportB had always run perfectly on its own. When i try to use the graphical date selector control, the results are different depending on the machine I use.
1. If i am using my test box, and i run ReportB directly via the app in debug mode, i get a runtime error indicating Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object required. It then points to Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd at the GetObjectPosition(obj) function.
2. If i am using my test box and go out to the live production website, i get the same runtime error.
3. If i am using another machine and go out to the live production website, the data selector control merely seems to refresh the report. This is the same behavior i get when using the production server and going out to the live website.
The redistributable has been uninstalled from both the test box and the production box. This did not change the behavior described above.
All of the Microsoft.ReportViewer items in C:Windowsassembly indicate version 8.0.0.0.
Any help would be grand. Also, please let me know if I should cross post this in the .Net forums.
I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005. The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions 1) Replacing spaces with €œ €? 2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.
What are the options to create a table of contents based on the report items in a List Control? Document Mapping works for online viewing. A table of content would make the report easier to read when it's printed.
Hello, My company Intranet has a form that agents can use to post their comments about the company to upper management, but our customer service department would like to modify the form so that the agent has to pick from a comment type. The dropdown options on the form will be as follows: ComplimentsComplaintsGeneral CommentsSuggestions Each dropdown option has a designated table in a SQL DB.Using postback on the same page, I need to change which fields of the form are visible based upon which dropdown selection the user chooses, and I need the fields to then be inserted into the table that corresponds with the dropdown selection item. For example: If the Compliments dropdown selection is picked, I need a text box to show for the user's location, the name of the customer, account number, and the message box. Once the submit button is clicked, the characters in these boxes need to be inserted into the Compliments table using its data adapter. However, if the user selects Suggestions, the name of the customer and the account number should not be visible, since these fields do not exist and when the submit button is pressed, the Suggestions table should be updated. If you need more information, I will provide whatever is needed. As always, thanks for everyone's assistance. Chris
I wonder if it is possible to set forms authentication for report manager but leave report server "as it is". I need to authenticate users from external LDAP and can't use windows authentication for report manager, but I would also like to leave report server open for anonymous users. In that way authenticated administrators could create reports which anonymous users could read.
I tested the Security Extension Sample and got it working when I rewrote the authentication part with my own LDAP authentication.
If I have understood correctly, the report manager is just application inside report server so is it possible to use forms authentication with one application but still leave the report server with Windows authentication?
model = conn.MiningModels[modelName]; service=conn.MiningServices[model.Algorithm];
if (services.ViewerType == "Microsoft_Cluster_Viewer") viewer = new ClusterViewer(); else if (services.ViewerType =="Microsoft_Tree_Viewer") viewer = new TreeViewer(); else if (services.ViewerType == "Microsoft_TimeSeries_Viewer") viewer = new TimeSeriesViewer();
But i need that as a web contorl to integrate with our existing web application but the viewer control is not working. So is there another web control for viewing data mining models.
I have a login page that checks the given userid/password against ADSI and redirects the user if successful. My problem seems to come when I try to connect to the SQL database with the user's NT credentials. I have the user's NT account setup in SQL, have anony. disabled in IIS, using Integrated Windows Security in IIS, and am using the following connection string:
I also have this entry in my Web.Config file: <identity impersonate="true" />
Actually, it seems to connect OK, but I can not select any data. I just receive "Select permission denied...." errors even though the user has been given these permissions in SQL.

I am going through the data mining web control viewer tutorial and its going great. I have been able to build and setup the viewer. The problem I am having is when I publish the site out to my web server, it gives me the following error:
Code Snippet
Error: Either the user, <domain><computerName>$, does not have access to the prospectDataMining database, or the database does not exist.
When I debug this on my local machine via Visual Studio 2005, it works GREAT! It is just when I publish the site to the web server.
I have a dedicated SSAS server along w/ a dedicated web server. To test, I published the site to the SSAS server to see if it was a connection issue. I received the same error w/ a different <domain><computerName>$.
I looked at trying to put in the optional connection info for the dataMining html tree viewer properties... but apparently dont know how to do that properly. I also checked the IIS directory security and enabled Integrated security.
What am i doing wrong? ANY help is much appreciated.
I have a combo box named [myControl] on an Access form that I can use to select/enter a site name (ABC). There is a button on the same form that runs a report. The underlying record source for the report is a SQL Function. Is there an easy way to pass the combo box value to the SQL Function so that only records for site 'ABC' are displayed in the report? I tried Forms![myForm]![myControl] in the criteria box of the Function and it did not work. THANKS!
