Report Deployment With Custom Authentication
Oct 18, 2007
Hello,
We are using custom authentication to acess the report server.Users can access reports only through a .net application. Now we want to give the users the ability to deploy their reports trhough a .net client utility with out changing the anonymous security setting in IIS.
Can anyone point me in the right direction . Can we use rs.exe to deploy reports under forms authenticated mode...
In a nut shell "Is there a way to deploy report through forms authentication"/
Thanks!!

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

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?

Hello All,
We have developed some custom tasks which we currently deploy the standard way. That is, we install the custom task assemblies in the DTSTasks folder and we also install the assemblies in the GAC. Due to some deployment practices we are trying to implement we would like to be able to remove the assemblies from the GAC and install them in some other location. I have tried installing the assemblies in the DTSBinn folder, but this does not appear to be working. When I drop the custom control flow tasks onto the package's control flow tab I get the "Cannot create a task with the name ..." error.
Is it possible to not have the custom task assemblies in the GAC? Are there any tricks to getting it to work?
FYI, our assemblies are signed. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with our troubles.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi all,
I'm having a nightmare trying to test my custom task.
I get the following error message when trying to add the task from the toolbox...
Cannot create a task with the name "myTask, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b8e53511af163eb7". Verify that the name is correct.

Program Location:

at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design.DtsBasePackageDesigner.CreateExecutable(String moniker, IDTSSequence container, String name)
Any ideas?
Cheers.

I've written several custom Control Flow and Data Flow components for SSIS. I'm trying to deploy a new Control Flow Task, however it will not show up in the "Choose Toolbox Items" window.
I have my dll's all in the right place. Because of other painful issues we have not used the GAC, and instead have put our DLL's that are referenced in the following directory: C:program filesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinn. This has worked fine for other custom tasks, but not for this one.
The only things that are different about this transform are the following:
1. Not only does the task inherit from Task, it also implements two interfaces that I wrote.
2. One of the assembly references is actualy an executable instead of a dll. This is unusual, but I've done it with other .NET projects and not had any trouble.
I could move the code I need from the EXE out to a DLL. If somebody knows what could be causing this please respond?

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!

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.

I was able to log in to SSRS report manager. But i was unable to run a report i designed on report builder.
It prompts for login when i wanted to run the report and i used the same windows authentication to sign in
It will show me the parameters but when i click on view report it gives this error
"Data source 'DataSource1': An error has occurred.

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!

Hello everyone,
I created a custom assembly using C# to transform some binary data into text, and in this assembly I used one win32 dll developed by our customer to help me to do the tranformation.
The code I used to call the win32 dll is like below:
[DllImport("tdasuie.dll", EntryPoint = "AlrtLogConditionToText",
ExactSpelling = false, CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern UInt32 AlrtLogConditionToText(Byte[] pbCondition, StringBuilder pszText, UInt32 dwSize);
I defined a C# method to call the above win32 method and return a string. Then in the report, I called this C# method to get the correct string.
In the report designer, the C# method in the custom assembly can return the correct string in the preview window. But after I deployed the report into the report server, the textbox will only display "#error" in the report manager web page.
Can anybody help me on it? Thanks a lot.
Danny

I have developed a custom report item that works fine in design and preview mode while in Visual Studio. I cannot get it to show up on my deployed reports. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Deployed the report using Visual Studio
2. updated the rsreportserver.config file with the following entry:
<ReportItems>
<ReportItem Name="PedigreeChart" Type="Uabr.Rap.PedigreeChart.PedigreeChartRenderer, Uabr.Rap.PedigreeChart" />
</ReportItems>
3. Updated the rssrvpolicy.config file with the following entry.
<CodeGroup
class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Description="This code group grants Uabr.Rap.PedigreeChart.dll FUllTrust permission. ">
<IMembershipCondition
class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServerinUabr.Rap.PedigreeChart.dll" />
</CodeGroup>
I've also tried using the StrongNameMembershipCondition with no better results.
4. The dll and its dependencies are copied to the bin directory of the report server.
5. When I load a report with this custom report item on it, the report loads fine with no errors or warnings in the log file (even with verbose tracing). The area where the custom item should be is just white. It's almost like Reporting Services isn't registering the item correctly.
This is particularly frustrating because the report works fine in Visual Studio - apparently I configured that correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped.

Not sure if I really have the correct forum for this posting so appologies if it is not. My question refers to the basic functionality of the new Sharepoint 3.0 both WSS and MOSS.
In version 2.0 of Sharepoint Services reports were displayed in Sharepoint using Report Explored to navigate and Report Viewer to display the report. Also KPI's were displayed in a web part which came from Business Scorecard Manager 2005.
I have been investingation both WSS3.0 and MOSS and have installed WSS3.0 to test. I notice that I can connect to reporting services with CTP2.0 for sql server. I can upload reports into document lists and run them from there. My question is has the old idea of using the report explorer gone as when you have report manager running in sharepoint integration it has no website to upload files or manage permissions. Is the document upload method the new way or am I missing something.
More importantly though is the display of KPI's is this now only available in MOSS 2007 and no longer a function of WSS3.0 as you cannot install Business Scorecard manager on WSS3.0 but it appears this is built in to MOSS.
Any guidelines to this new functionality would be greatly appreciated

I have a question about Report services scale out deployment.
In the technet document it states that reporting services must be Enterprise edition for scale out deployment functionality, does anyone know if the database engine has to be Enterprise also, or can it be standard edition?
Here is the article excerpt from technet:
The Reporting Services edition must be Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation. Standard edition does not support a scale-out deployment. You can create a scale-out deployment using a combination of editions as long as the edition supports the scale-out feature.
Future guru in the making.

Hi,
I'm using the reports designer in Visual Studio 2005 Professional and have successfully been deploying reports to my client's server for several months. Now I can't deploy any reports, when I try Visual Studio almost hangs, tries for about 5 minutes to deploy a single report and then fails with an error message:
TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer

A connection could not be made to the report server http://winserver/ReportServer.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

It used to ask me for username/password for the server (credentials), now it doesn't do that. I can go to the reports server and reports interface pages in my browser OK. The reports build without any errors.
Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on how to get it working again?

I just asked you about how to hide the sub report from showing it in the drop down list. I have done it with the report manager [Report properties--> general --> Hide in Listview]. I am using RSBuild tool to automatically deploy the reports.I don't know what modification I have to make in the RSBuild code to incorporate this new functionality[Hiding sub report]. Can you please let me know how to do it?
I am using the following code, The description property is working correctly. But the Hide in List view property is not working.
Property[] properties = new Property[2];
Property Prop1 = new Property();
Property Prop2 = new Property();
Prop1.Name = "HideInListView";
Prop1.Value = "True";
properties.SetValue(Prop1, 0);
Prop2.Name = "Description";Prop2.Value = "Muni deployed sub report";
properties.SetValue(Prop2, 1);
But I don't know the proprty name and value for Hide in List view.
Can you please give me the suggestion?

Currently within the Configuration manager you are able to set the Target Deployment parameters such as serverurl , folder etc.. However is there a way to set the Datasource within these configuration settings. For example we have Dev,Demo, and Production sql servers that ideally would be set to to switch with their corresponding deployment target areas DEV,Prod,Demo Reporting service servers. However as it stands I find myself having to manually change the datasets to point to different Servers for testing and then back to the production when its ready to roll out.
did I miss some feature that allows me to do this within the vs ide or does this have to be done programatically?

I have created a report on my local machine and deployed it on a server. As I am the administrator of the server, I can access the reports with servernameReports. The report has got three data sets. Out of these three one is a Stored procedure and other two data sets have sql queries. The user selects the 'Business year' and 'sales type' from list box. This report works perfect from my local machine as well as from teh server when I am running it
I have some other users who wish to access these reports. I did the following steps:
Created a new role and assigned it at the Data Source Folder and Reports Folder
I also made the user a Database user on the server.
After doing these steps, the user can access the Reports site by servernameReports.
The user then can go into the Reports folder. But when the user tries to run the report, he gets an error with:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for data set 'BusinessYear'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
Can anyone help me with this? Is htere something to do with setting up of the datasource?
I have tried to search, but could not find relevant info.
Any help/Pointers will be really appreciated.

I created two reports in SSRS and have configured both the web service and report manager URLs in report services configuration manager.
whenever I try to open either one of the two reports from the manager or service I get the following error msg.
"An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database.
(rsReportServerDatabaseError)
Invalid object name 'DataSets'. Could not use view or function 'ExtendedDataSets' because of binding errors."
I get a similar msg when I try to deploy the reports from VS 2010. Only the first 2 sentences are returned.
I'm mystified as to why DataSets is an invalid object name. It shows as the TargetDatasetFolder name WebsiteReports Property Page. I've looked around for the error source and can not find where this error is stemming from.

Hi,
I have got a quistion in regards to SQL Server Reporting Services 2005. We're currently using the SSRS in one of our applciations with 20+ reports. We need to deplaoy 2 instances of an applciation: Test and Production. These applcaitions are running off two different databases in SQL Server [DBName]_Test and [DBName]_Live. So far all of our reports have been written to use a shared datasource. This worked fine untill we had to deploy a Live instance of the application, where the shared datasource is overwritten with the live one.
Now we have manually created a new shared datasource called [DataSource]_Live. However, whenever we need to redeploy the reports from visual studio, we then have to go though each report and point it to a correct datasource. This is extremly manual process - and takes up a lot of time...
Surely there must be an easier way around this (without duplicating the reporting project in VS.NET / or having to modify the datasource fr each report manually each time)?
Thanks in advance,
Nick Goloborodko

Has anybody ever had VS2005 sometimes crash when deploying reports? It only happens once and awhile, but it is annoying. I was hoping this would go away with service pack 1, but it didn't.
Another problem that I thought would be fixed is when you try to close VS2005 after working on reports and it states "Cannot close because an active modal is active" occasionally.

I need to calculate the success rate of our OS Patch deployments. the data from system is stored in SQL with corresponding states (installed, missing, ...)
I would need to provide monthly report that shows how successful the deployment was for particular patchgroup. I have the following 2 dummy tables (just used as example)
table5 ==> Table containing patch groups + patches
table6 ==> Table with machines names, patches and patch state
select * from table5
pgrouppatch
GROUP1PATCH1
GROUP1PATCH2
GROUP1PATCH3
GROUP1PATCH4
[Code] ....
Result would be
pgroup install missing
group1 80% 20%
group2 50% 50%
group3 55% 45%
Ideally I would like to do this in T-SQL but if necessary can also do this in .NET Function. Only mention this but both Patchgroup and machines are dynamic each month can be different.
below are the sql scripts to create tables and populate with data
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[table5](
[pgroup] [varchar](128) NOT NULL,
[patch] [nvarchar](128) NOT NULL
)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[table6](
[machinename] [varchar](128) NOT NULL,
