Is Web Authentication To Reporting Possible?
Mar 26, 2007
To start, I am pretty much a MySQL php guy (no yelling) but now asked to do the following, so need to get a step in the right direction. Our company wants to publish web reports via the SQL report manager. Right now when you hit the IP / reports folder you get the authentication popup which I assume is the IIS/NT authentication.
I would like to remove that part and authenticate via a webpage on that box? I can setup a user table on that machine if need be to avoid setting up users on the local machine, but if I must do that, it's still ok, but is there .asp function or module that I can use?
Thanks for all replies

Hello,My boss wants me to create a front end webpage for our ReportingServices reports that customers can log onto through a webform. I'm aPHP programmer, so I'd rather do this site and the authentication inPHP than learn .NET. The main problem I see is finding a way to passthe authentication to Reporting Services so that when a user runs areport, they are not asked to enter their password a second time.I don't even know where to start researching this problem... I've askedin PHP forums and they passed me to you guys. Any ideas?Andrew

Hi,
I've changed from Visual Studio 2003 to Visula Studio 2005 by using now the MS SQL 2005 Express Advanced Edition.
As I wanted to deploy another report suddenly it asked me for an authetication for the ReportServer ?
Well, no problem, I thought and looked into the authentications in IIS, but no one of those is working.
Where the heck do I have to look ?
Thx for reply.
Andreas
P.S. Using on backend site RS Enterprise Edition SP1 and changed for developing reports from VS 2003 to VS 2005 with reporting services.

I am using Reporting services 2005 and have enabled forms authentication using the example found in:
'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesReporting ServicesExtension SamplesFormsAuthentication Sample'
This works correctly without SSL, but when I enable SSL I get an error when logging in. The symptoms are as follows. I can login to the reporting server (in my case <server>/ReportServer2) directory, but when I login to the report manager (in my case at <server>/Reports2) I get the following error:
'The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.'
Can anyone suggest why I might be getting this error?
Thank you,

Hi,
I am new to Reporting Services. I want to use Reporting Services 2005 in our application.
My custom web application is on one machine and Reporting Services 2005 is on other machine. I am using Forms Authentication and using Single Sign On for login
If my custom web application and Reporting Services are on same machin I can get "Authentication Ticket" issued by ReportingServices2005 to the Report server.
But in this case I am not able to get "Authentication Ticket" on Report Server since it is on other machine.
I am using ReportViewer control in my web application to display Reports and using LogonUser method to get the Authentication Ticket.
How can I pass CookieAuthentication ticket from my Custom Web Application to Report Server?
Is there any work around to pass Authentication Cookie across Domain or any other solution for this?
Regards
Amit

I setup CRM 4.0 in one domain with a domain service account. SQL Reporting is located on the same machine using the same service account. SQL is on a different machine. These are in the same single domain forest which has a two way trust relation with another domain of a separate single domain forest. Both domains are W2k3 Native Mode.
The CRM application allows access to users in both domains. The reports are generated with accounts in the first domain where CRM and SQL Reports is located but not for users in the other domain. The CRM's report viewer window displays "The report cannot be displayed."
The following are events that are related to the error:

The take away from the events is either the SQL Reporting or CRM is attempting to access the SQL service with the Anonymous account. I expect it's SQL reporting because the CRM application is not having problems letting in the other domain users. The problem occurs only on reports.
I tried the following:
1. Applied the steps in the CRM Planning Guide for "Taks for a native mode domain with users in a mixed-mode domain." This adds the other domain users to a domain local group. Then assigns Browser access to the SQL reports and SQL database access to the group.
2. Set the CRM server to be trusted for delegation (kerberos only)
3. Created SPNs for http/crmserver domaincrmservice and http/crmserver:5555 domaincrmservice and http/crmserver.domain.local domaincrmservice and http/crmserver.domain.local:5555 domaincrmservice
Any suggestion?

Maybe someone can help me. I am running the reporting service add in for Sharepoint and we have only Basic Authentication running on our site (it is on SSL). When i try and open a report in sharepoint it errors out on me. When i go back into IIS and set Windows and Basic authentication it works, but it requires me to enter our domain and username. We need to only use Basic so it will not need the domain. Anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to make this work?

This is a subject that has been brought up before but I have not seen a definitive answer/solution.
We have implemented a custom authentication extension (forms authentication) for reporting services and it has been working just fine under "normal" conditions; "normal" being users logging in, viewing reports, and then moving on.
Recently some reports were created by our report group and they contain Dundas gauge controls for "dashboard" style reports. These reports are meant to be up all day and they post back every few seconds because the data they present is mission critical.
This of course exposed the inability of the reportviewer control to stay in the context of Report Manager when it comes to the cookie exchange and authentication thus resulting in the following error:
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object
moved to <a
href="/ReportServer/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2freportserver%2fReportExecution2005.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
I created a quick ASP.NET web application and added the reportviewer to it, implemented IReportServerCredentials and the report came up as expected but behaved the same way as it did in Report Manager. Same with a Windows Forms application.
Increasing the cookie timeout in the forms authentication tag is an option, but not an attractive one. Extending the reportviewer control is also an option, but I don't know if that is a good candidate right now because I don't see anything extensible yet.
Is this just the nature of RS with custom authentication or is there a viable solution out there right now?
Any and all answers are much appreciated and I thank you in advance.

Well, I have SQL Server 2005 SP2 Reporting Services installed and configured in sharepoint integrated mode, so I am deploying reports in sharepoint libraries. Also I configured sharepoint to use forms authentication with builtin AspNetSqlMembership provider, but after this action I couldnot open reports through sharepoint library, instead of this, error was displayed mentioned below. I searched and found hotfix Cumulative Update 3 build 3186 for this issue, request it from microsoft support and applied it, but nothing has changed!
Error I have been experiencing is following:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server.
Verify that the report server is available and configured for
SharePoint integrated mode. --> The request failed with the error
message:
--
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="/_layouts/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=
%2f_vti_bin
%2fReportServer%2fReportService2006.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
I continued to dig and find out that this hotfix should update Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll from version 9.0.3042.0 to new version 9.0.3180.0, but when I checked file version after applying hotfix, it remained the same as was before i.e. 9.0.3042.0. Apparently this cumulative update does not fix this issue.
anyone has any idea how to solve it? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
(Using win2k, sqlserver2k, framework 1.1)
I have an fairly data-heavy application that uses Windows authentication (Trusted connection/aspnet account) to connect to Sql Server. The site uses IIS basic authentication.
On the dev server everything works fine but when I move to the live server things get strange and it starts to crawl along. (Pages load OK but then it just crawls as it loads the datagrids etc. Sometimes it brings back incomplete/incorrect data )
BUT When I use Sql Authentication to connect to Sql Server and there is no problem at all!
Ok, there is something obviously wrong with the live server (which is identical setup to dev)but I dont know where to start.
Any ideas??

Hi all,
I've got two applications which both have a database on my MS SQL 2000 server. The problem is, one application must use Windows Integrated Authentication (which it is currently using and cannot be changed) whilst the other application which I'm trying to configure must use a SQL password.
Since the server has already been configured to use Windows Integrated Authentication for the existing database and application, how do I configure the other database to use the SQL password?
Thanks.

Hi all,
My work is using a shared application
which accesses a MSSQL 2000 database. To access the application, the
folder on the Windows 2003 Server is shared and users can access the
folder through a shared drive.
For the application to access the
database, it uses an ODBC connection to the MSSQL server which
originally used the SA password.
We have recently switched to using
Windows Integrated Authentication because we believe it offers a
higher level of security. However the only way in which we have been
able to enable this is to add the windows users to the SQL server.
The problem with this is that the
application sets permissions for individual users on what records
they can see within the database. We have found that by adding the
windows users to the SQL Server, they can bypass the permissions the
set by the application by simply using any application that can use
an ODBC connection, such as Enterprise Manager, and see all the
database.
One way around this would be to set up
domains of users with access privileges to the tables which reflect
the permissions set by the application, and configuring a view of the
data so they may only see the records that they have permissions to.
However to do this would require a high administrative cost to ensure
that changes made in the application are reflected in the privileges
of the SQL server.
Instead, is there a way the SQL server
can authenticate that the ODBC connection is coming from the correct
application using Windows Integrated Authentication?
This would allow the applcation to
determine security, and stop users from connecting to the SQL server
using other applications.
Alternatively, can the SQL server,
using Windows Integrated Authentication, also ask the application to
supply a username and password?
Any help with this matter would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Say, I have configured my SQL to use Mixed Authentication. Now, I have a applicaiton which uses my SQL Server. The application just creates a database in SQL Server and uses the database to store its information.
This application also has a SYSTEM DSN under ODBC through which it accesses the database. For the application to access this database, should I only use SA (as my SQL instance is configured to use Mixed Authentication) or can I use Windows Authentcation too...
If I should only use SA, do we have a documentation which talks about this.
Thanks

Hi.
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?

Hi,
I need to figure out what kind of Authentication , I need to use for following applicaiton
Product : -
1 ) It resides on a its Domain and has access to Database on that Domain.
2 ) We have a application level login , n based on application login id
display specific pages.
The question that bother me is this
Q ) If i use NT authentication , then a user will be required to
a ) Login to domain (with userid and password) first and then
b ) Then i would require to again login to applicaiton with application
level login and password.(different levels of login as there)
Based on the application level login i will display only specific
asp pages. They have different access rights..and roles.
Requirment is to login only once..and it should authenticate to application display specific pages and authenticate to SQl server database also..
Is there any way thru which i can map my application level login to SQl server.. and what authentication should i use..
Thanks,
Teny

I am in the process of rolling out a sql server 2005 enterprise install and had a question regarding authentication. We will be providing sql hosting for a number of groups on our campus, many who are not using our campus-wide active directory, though they all have an AD account.
Windows authentication via the management studio appears to use your AD authentication tokens and will not allow them to enter a username/password combo. Is there any way to configure this?
I would like to use our campus AD for obvious reasons but if there is a requirement for passing tokens this isn't going to work right? It's also going to make database mirroring more of a challenge.
Thanks

Hi all,
My SQL Server 7.0 is now running in a mixed mode authentication. I understand
that this method of authentication is not safe. So, Ive planned to change my
server's method of authentication from mixed to NT-only mode.
Kindly tell me what are the points I should consider for doing this, so that,
the existing data and the users are not affected.
Cheers and thanx in advance
