Forms Security Extension Sample
Mar 9, 2006
Hi,
I have installed the SSRS 2005 Forms based login security extension as per the sample and instructions that come with the product install. I have double checked my work and debugged up to the point explained here.
My user is in the database and I can get to the login page. I have traced the code and can see the user being authenticated properly by server.LogonUser, the authentication cookie being created and placed in the response object, and then the redirect url being set to the reports/pages/folder.aspx. I have employed tcptrace and can see the sqlAuthCookie set in subsequent posts.
Unfortunately the redirect to folder.aspx never happens. I keep returning to UILogon.aspx. I think their is something either wrong with the auth cookie or the web.config in the ReportServer IIS virtual directory. The relevant xml from the web.config is attached below.
I would appreciate any thoughts. I am running on W2K3 SP1. Thanks.
Mitch

I am attempting to deploy the sample Security Extensions. When I navigate to <machinename>/reports in IE, it works fine and I am able to register the administrator. The user exists in the table correctly, but I am unable to login as the user. It keeps going back to the same uilogon.aspx redirect page.
It appears to be a similar error as http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=289636&SiteID=17
However, I am using the machine name the entire name, never referring to it as localhost. Any ideas? Thanks!

On my current project we have a requirement to re-authenticate the user when accessing sensitive information.
We want re-authenticate using standard NT logins against Active Directory (not a custom database or SSO.
This is trivial to configure using Basic Authentication, however I would like to use an ASP.NET login form. I would like to avoid writing a security extension as I do not want to perform custom authentication. I would like the web service to use it's built in authentication and authorisation mechanisms.
Is the above possible???
The following gives some more details about wht I've tried.
I have tried configuring the report server/manager with Forms authentication as in the sample but cannot get it to work with out implementing the security extensions.
I changed the web.config files and the policy files for permissioning my dll with FullTrust. I did not configure an extension as I want reporting services to use it's built in windows security mechanisms.
In the login page code behind I call the ReportingService2005.LogonUser() method which always throws the following exception:
Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with the error message: --
Reporting Services Error
The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information. (rsServerConfigurationError) Get Online Help

I check the log file and it has the following:

I follow the instructions here to deploy the sample security extension: http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTRSProdSamples/Wiki/View.aspx?title=SS2005!Security%20Extension%20Sample&referringTitle=Home
After I have configure the config files and created the "UserAccounts" database I restart the IIS and tried to connect to Report Manager at http://localhost/Reports
This is the error i got: The report server is not responding. Verify that the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer.
I went to Services and saw my Reporting Services is stopped. Tried to start Reporting Services and it timed out.

Greetings. I have developed our own custom security extension, implemented forms based authentication, and can authenticate from report manager, report server and sql studio. So far so good.
However, when it comes to Authorization, i'm unclear in a few areas and would appreciate if someone could help me out with the following questions. It should be noted that in the code I have granted an administrator user full access to all operations and permissions, and then tested against both an administrator user and a normal user.
IAuthorizationExtension.GetPermissions summary says
"Returns the set of permissions granted a specific user for an item in the report server database."
Inparticular, the secDesc parameter is supposed to contain the security descriptor associated with the item.
However, with our extension this parameter is always null, even if I have already granted access for a user, which is confirmed through logging in CreateSecurityDescriptor.
Through the report manager or sql studio I can see that the permissions have been created, so I can't understand why I never see them in the GetPermissions method? This then (seems to) flow through to the various CheckAccess methods, where the users are authenticated, but are not authorized to perform any operations. i.e. in report manager a user has no folders or reports available.
Is RS authorization designed around the concept that the details will always be stored in it's own database?
Ideally, we'd like to have the various roles, users and function authorizations defined in our own security framework. This is working great for the authentication aspect of the extension, but unless there is a mechanism which exposes the details of the particular authorization process (e.g. the name of the folder being viewed or report being run), then I can't see a way we can implement it. Unless i'm missing something fundamental of course!
Using Report Builder as the Administrator user (or any other user), I can see no data models available, even though I have created them via Report Manager, and I get the following exception trying to open up the list of reports:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation. at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ListChildrenAction.PerformActionNow() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.RSSoapAction.Execute() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.ListChildren(String Item, Boolean Recursive, CatalogItem[]& CatalogItems)
I have implemented a report server proxy (inherited from ReportService2005) as per the example, to pass through the authorization cookie. Any clues as to what could be wrong?
Finally, I suspect part of my problem may be in assignment of users to System Roles ("System Administrator" and "System User"), I'm not sure if these are meant only for Windows Authentication? I can see no way of assigning these roles to any of my users using Forms Authentication.
Thanks for any help or advice you can give!

Hey, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on an issue. I've got the authentication portion of a custom security extension working properly (while authorization is just sort of giving everyone a pass) and all of my Googling efforts seem to be bearing little fruit. Now that authentication is in place, whenever I try to deploy a report from Visual Studio, it comes up with an error.
The error is that it is getting the authentication html login page set in web.config (as I expected), while it was looking for an xml page. I'm a bit new to this side of things so I'm not really even sure where I should be looking to see what kind of xml page it wants and such.
I don't need anyone to bother explaining the entire thing to me as I should be able to figure it out once I can get a start, but as I said I just need a kick in the right direction because my Google-fu has failed

Hello
I'm trying to get the forms authentication sample working - I have followed the instructions given in the ReadMe that came with the samples. When I try to browse to localhost/reportserver (on the server), instead of seeing the logon page as expected, I get the following error message:
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help

I built the sample in VS 2005, and am using v2 of .net. Reporting services is installed on a windows server 2003 machine.
This has been driving me crazy for a while now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The custom security extension generates the following error, when try to access Report Manager. The specifications are as follows.
1. Its 64-bit SQL Server (Reporting Services) and installed as default instance.
2. The Report Server is accessible programmatically. I can publish, view reports without problems, but Report Manager gives an error.
3. Another instance (named instance) of Reporting Services with the same custom security extension on same server is working fine. Report Manager opens up without problems.
4. Both the instances working fine since 3 installation and configuration (3 months back). Now, only the Report Manager of the default instance is not openeing up.

Hi All,
My application is currently integration with reporting services using custom security extension. I have my own USER and ROLE database to determine who/which role can access certain reports.
My question is how to give access a report to be viewable by everyone? I dont want to assign all users or all roles to achieve this.
The other thing that I found out is, let say I change the name one of the user/role. Because of this, the authorization will fail because the old name/role is not in the DB anymore. Is this expected? or is there a workaround it?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I have recently enabled a custom Forms Security on my Windows 2003 Server w/ SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. All the functionality I would expect is working properly, except for the ability to deploy to the reports server from inside my Visual Studio 2005 Reports Project.
The 'Reporting Services Login' window opens, prompting me for a username and password. Regardless of what is supplied, the window keeps reappearing, and I am unable to deploy. I am able to upload the files from within the Report Manager, but that is time consuming and inelegant.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the accessable map for each user:

Question:
What is the best way to implement CheckAccess? At first I thought I can access the item names and I can test authorization through that, but AceCollection contains operation permission of the accessing object.

I'm re reading the documentation at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb283249.aspx but so far am not getting what the Security Extension options accomplish that can't be accomplished with much less effort using some form of Basic Authentication.

Hi,
I am trying the get the custom security extension samples to work on my machine. I have installed everything according the sameple help file. However, i am getting a "Authentication Ticket is not issued by LogonUser." error after I attempted to log on to the report manager thru UILogon.aspx page. I already created an admin user. Upon a closer inspection, I realized that the authentication went thru okay, however, the authentication Ticket Name contained in the "RSAuthenticationHeader" has a duplicate value of "sqlauthticket, sqlauthticket". So apparently, the report server added this value twice to the response header. Has anyone seen this error before? How would you fix it? Also to bypass this error, I parsed out the header and take the correct auth ticket name, now report manager just redisplays the logon page and not letting me thru. Has anyone have seen that before? I am running in Win 2003 server, IIS 6, .NET 2.0 and SQL server 2005 enterprise version.
Thanks for the help,
Eric

I have written CDE to retrieve and process data before generating the report. It works very well inside VS.Net. However, when deployed to the report server I get the following error
An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source 'CallsTaken'. Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

I have added appropriate entry into rsreportserver.config for data extension as
<Extension Name="Dataset Extension" Type="CSS.RS.Extensibility.CustomDataExtension.DsConnectionWrapper, CSS.CustomDataExtension"/>
Even then I continue to get this error. Any help? Is there anything else I am missing? I am using VS .Net 2005, SRSS 2005 on W23 machine.
I have been stuck here for a while now. Help is appreciated.

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy Reporting Services on an Internet-facing web server using a custom security extension (forms authentication). We will be putting Report Manager on the Web Server outside of the firewall, and Report Server on another machine inside the firewall. When testing the solution in a development environment with Report Manager and Report Server on the same box, the solution works fine.
When testing it using the Internet-facing environment described above, it almost works but there seems to be an issue with the authentication cookie that is generated. Here's what happens:
1. User enters credentials on UILogon.aspx and submits form.
2. In the code-behind, LogonUser() is called through a web service proxy and the authentication cookie is returned successfully. The code used here to set the cookie is the same code used in the Forms Authentication sample that ships with RS2005.
3. The user is redirected to Folder.aspx, and the request hangs for a while, and eventually kicks you back out to UILogon.aspx, as if it lost the authentication cookie. When doing a trace on the HTTP header, the cookie is still there.
Is there anything special I need to do to make the Report Server "see" the cookie when I have Report Manager and Report Server on different machines?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
I have posted this issue for a week, haven't got any reply yet, I posted it again and desperately need your help.
The article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365343.aspx says:
Model Item Security can be set for differnt security filters, but when I use SQL Server Management Studio to set Model Item Security, it seems "Permissions" property surpass "Model Item Security" property. -- My report server is using Custom Authentication.
For example, in "Permissions" property of the model, if I checked "Use these roles for each group or user account" without setting any user or group, no matter what users I added to "Model Item Security" with "Secure individual model items independently for this model" checked, NO one user can see the model on report manager and report builder;
in above situation, if I added "user1" and gave role such as "Browser" role to "user1" in "Permissions" property, if I checked "Secure individual model items independently for this model" in "Model Item Security" property, even I did NOT grant "user1" to root model and any entities under the model, the "user1" is able to access the model and all entities in report builder.
My question is on the same report model, how to set "AdminFilter" (empty security filter) for administrator permissions and set "GeneralFilter" (filtered on UserID) for general user based on their UserID?
The article also says:
"Security filters are always applied, even for users who have Content Manager or Administrator permissions to the model. To allow administrators or other users to see all rows of an entity on which row-level security is defined, you can create an empty security filter (which always returns True) and then use the filter to grant those users access to all the rows."
So I defined 2 filters "GeneralFilter" and "AdminFilter" for "Staff" entity for my report model "SSRSModel", I expect after I deployed the report model, the administrator users use report builder to build reports with all rows available, and the non-admin users can only see rows based on their UserID.
I can only get one result at a time but not both:
either the rows are filtered or not filtered at all, no matter how I set the "SecurityFilter" for the entity: I tried setting both "AdminFilter" and "GeneralFilter" for SecurityFilter at the same time, combination of "DefaultSecurityFilter" and "SecurityFilter", or one at a time.
Your help is highly appreciated!

hello ... I am trying to copy 1 field from a table in database called DB1 to a same table in DB2 .. I am not sure if this is possible. I found out form www3.schools.com it's doable using Select Into ... but it uses MS Access for example (Northwind.mdb) ... I wonder what's the extension database in MS SQL? Does anyone know where can we check the query syntax on the web? Can anyone tell me it's correct? I dun have MS SQL from home .. so :(
======copy prodID from DB1 to DB2 table called production1 (both DB1 and DB2)=======
// this is done in SQL QUERY ANALYZER under DB1?
SELECT production1.prodID INTO production1 IN DB2 FROM DB1
=====create VIEW in DB2=======
// this has to be done in DB1 ... if I have multiple databases, is there anyway to do it using something like SELECT INTO to create view in differences databases?
CREATE VIEW production_id AS SELECT prodID from DB1

I've been using Michaels excellent date function http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=61519 quite honestly it has saved me loads of time (the e-beers are on me)
For my purposes I need to work sometimes with Financial Years and I also need the Dates available to SQL Server 7. So I used Michaels function to create a table and added two fields (possibly more to follow). Please note that this has only been done on SQL Server 2000
ALTER TABLE DATEINFO
ADD -- Needs these to allow NULL so that the Alter Table will work.
FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE[datetime]null , -- the start date for the financial year
FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_YEAR[smallint]null , -- the year that the financial years starts in depending on the Financial Year Start Date
Given that the table is then populated by Michaels function, to set the FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE I used
/* @ARBITRARY_FINANICAL_YEAR_START_DATE is SET to any date that would be the start date of a financial year
only the day and month parts are important, so in this case the start of the financial year is 1 April
*/
DECLARE @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE DATETIME
SET @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE = '20060401'
UPDATE DATEINFO
SET FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE =
CASE
WHEN DATEDIFF(dd,DATEADD(yy, year([DATE]) - YEAR(@ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE), @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE),[DATE]) < 0
Then DATEADD(YY,YEAR([DATE])- YEAR(@ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE) -1, @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE)
Else DATEADD(YY,YEAR([DATE])- YEAR(@ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE) , @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE)
END
With that it is trivial to set FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_YEAR to YEAR(FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE)

Guys,
I am running SQL Server 2005 Enterp Trial version, which is about to expire in 14 days..
Is this possible to Extend this?
Or
Un-installing and re-installing may give me back 180 days again? I haven't tried this, but need to know before I do an attempt?
Don't have other machine, don't want to re-built my system..
Any help?
Thanks in advance

Hello there!
I am in need of urgent help. i do believe that when you used the command SPOOL filename without specifying an extension name, it automatically puts an .lst extension name. Can you help me identify if there is any way i can generate a file without an extension name? I am in need of help right now. I hope someone will answer my post as soon as possible. I really really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Jen
