Hi,
I have a certain report that contains information about a company structure... I want to allow only certain users to run the report (the easy part) but i also want the users to only see their own information (the hard part).
How can i achieve this?
Do i have to enable row based security over SQL Server 2005 table?
Best Regards
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!

I need to be able to run a SECURITY audit/report against my Report Servers. I want to be able to see which users have which rights in which folders, etc.
I cannot find any canned report for this (from MS or on Web)
I cannot find data in ReportServer dbase that I can read.
Has anyone done this? How?
Hi all,
I would like to retrive system report that provides the following security configurations for MS SQL
1. Minimum Password Length
2. Initial log-on uses a one time password
3. Password composition (e.g., alpha/numeric characters, not words in
dictionary)
4. Frequency of forced password changes (password expiration/aging)
5. The number of unsuccessful log-on attempts allowed before lockout
6. Ability of users to assign their own passwords
7. Number of passwords that must be used prior to using a password again
(password history)
8. Idle session time-out
9. Logging of unsuccessful login attempts
do i have to script it or is there any alternate option
thanx in advance
I have been playing with SRS 2005 for a few months now and have a decent setup going but am strugling with model security.
I have set my selected users up in the home folder and also as site users in site settings, they can launch the report builder and create reports fine.
HOWEVER
I intend to use the software accross multiple systems ie WMS, TMS, Finance package, T&A and therefore I only want the WMS users to see the WMS models and T&A users to only see the T&A models etc
No matter what settings are adjusted it seems that if you can launch the report builder then you can access all models and this poses an issue for me as systems like T&A and financials that I need to be as secure as possible.
I am aware that I can limit access to to models using Management studio but it seems to be basically on a column basis rather than the whole model.
Help!!!
Also aware of the fact im an idiot and basically posted the same thing 5 or 6 times! Hopefully the others are deleted
Hello.
I am trying to render a report that I set up with SSRS 2005 from an existing .Net web application. The report takes in a multi-valued parameter (sequenceNums) and displays data accordingly.
This is the url I am passing from the web application:
Code Blockhttp://myservername/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fProjectDBReports%2fCriticality&rs:Command=Render&rc:parameters=false&sequenceNums=4299,4312
Upon redirect, I receive the following error "one or more data sources is missing credentials"
I currently have the following connection settings checked for the DataSource used in the report:
- connect using credentials supplied by the user running the report
- use as windows credentials when connecting to the DataSource
When I attempt to view the report with no parameters being passed in, the report renders properly and I receive a prompt asking me for my credentials.
Do I have to connect to my DataSource using credentials stored securely on the report server?
Thanks in advance.
Sam
ps - i included the url within a code block so no smiley faces would show
I have a report with a hidden parameter that defaults to the logged in user. In this way, a user can only see his own information. However, I now need to give a group of administrators access to change the value of the parameter (to see information for other people). What is the best/most appropriate way to accomplish this?
I thought I'd try the Linked Report, but do not see how I can set the default value for the User ID parameter to the value of the current logged in user in the Reports Manager. Is that possible?
I also tried creating a report with the parameter open but restrictive access, and then use that report as a subreport on a report where the parameter is closed. However, a general user cannot open the subreport in this case because he doesn't have access to the open report.

Greetings Folks,
We have a SQL Server Reporting Services instance running SP2. I have attempted to add a domain group in a trusted domain to the server to enable regular users to access reports. I have added this group to the instance folder as a SYSTEM USER and home as BROWSER. I am allowing those settings to be inherited down through the folders (reports and data sources) to the reports. My test user in this report receives:
The permissions granted to user 'DOMAINuser' are insufficient for performing this operation.
(log shows HTTP 500)
when the user attempts to use the URL to go directly to the report. If we try to navigate from HOME and walk the folders the user sees a blank HOME page.
I have used other groups with no problem.
Is there something I am missing in setting up the security environment? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mark
Hi,
I am trying to use a very easy and simple feature of a reportmodel, model item security.
In my example i have two users; HGHJohn and HGHJKooi
I want to test if I am able to restrict access in the model to a whole entity. HGHJKooi shouldn't be able to see the entity 'Customers'.
These are the steps I executed:
1. In Sqlserver management studio I opened the properties of my model and navigated to the tabpage 'model item security'.
2. I activated the option 'secure individual model items...'
3. In the root of the model I declared two users(groups) as specified above
4. Automatically all nodes inherit these settings from the root.
5. For the entity 'Relations' I change the default, by selecting 'use these roles for each group or user account'
6. I removed HGHJKooi from this list, leaving only 'HGHJohn as model item browser
What I expected at this moment is that when I login the system as HGHJKooi, then I won't see this entity, but I still can! Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

From Books Online Help:
In the role-based security model that is implemented for Reporting Services, users who are assigned to the Content Manager role can create and edit reports in Report Builder. Local administrators are automatically assigned to this role.
If you want other users to be able to work with a Report Builder report, you must create a role assignment for them that includes the default role "Report Consumer." Alternatively, you can create a custom role definition. As long as the customized role includes the "Consume reports" task, users who are assigned to that role will have sufficient permission to create and modify reports using Report Builder
---------
However, when I try to give a contact those rights, the "Report Builder" link still does not show up for my users. Is there any other place where I can examine the security rights to see why the Report Builder permission is not granted to my users?
Hi all
I have created security roles that restrict access to a certain Dimension
and a member therein.
The security works fine when the users finened in it runs a report:
The data is accordingley ristricted.
The problem is when those same users run Report Builder and create a report,
those members are no longer restricted and they have acces to absoluteley
all data from the cubes.
Is there some way that I can force the Data Model to follow the cube's security roles?
Any help is much appreciated...

EDIT:
I have found that it uses the wrong user when opening report builder.
For some reason it uses my windows account instead of the one I used to log onto
report manager. This is way the security isnt working
Any thoughts what may be causing this?
I work on test SSRS setup and trying to give one user enough rights so she can download RDLs from server, but no matter what I do on Folder leverl, on report level her security are still only as a <Browser>. Structure of our Server is:
Home/NewReports/Misc/Report01.
I'm checking those in <Folder Settings>/<Security> where this user is OK (Browser, Content Manager, Publisher, Report Builder).
So she looks OK in all folders Home/NewReports/Misc, but on report level she still only a browser.
Our db team tried everything on SSRS server working with Site settings and Folder option, how to make that report inherit security ?
Hi,
I have a question here for report model generated on top of SSAS 2005. If security has been defined in SSAS 2005 cube where RoleA only have access to certain dimension, is this security setting integrated with the report model and propogate down to the report builder when used where RoleA users have no access to dimension allowed?
Thanks,

Hello,

I've been through a number of tutorials on how to enable row-level security based on a userID, but my problem is more complicated and I do not have sufficient understanding of report models to guess.
My security information is defined in a table within my database. It contains a username and an account mask. An account mask maps to 1 or more account codes contained in the other data tables in my report model. A user may have more than one account mask defined for his account.
I understand the concept of directly mapping the logged-in user to a field containing a matching username. Is it possible to do a two-step mapping, so that based on the user ID I can get the account mask(s) and then evaluate which account codes match the mask(s)?
Or is there a different/better way to set this up? Defining SQL roles/groups is not an option, because of some compatibility issues with external systems.
So far, because my security table has no defined relationship with the data tables, I have not even been able to get it into my report model (Would love any suggestions on that one, too.)
I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions - even if only something to investigate.
Thanks,
Sarah

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!

Hi;
I am looking for a way to log all security related events for SQL in Windows Security Log. I am trying to use SCOM for monitoring SQL and I am looking at ways to generate alerts in my SCOM Console for specific events in SQL e.g. A table is deleted, user is modified, deleted, etc. Is this possible and if yes how do I achieve the same?
Rgds;
In an environment where there are many initaitors speaking to a central target with frowarders in between, from what i can understand this best policy is to disable encryption on the endpoints, since dialog encryption will be enforced this is all that is really required, is this correct.
If the endpoints used encryption the message would need to be encrypted and decrypted at each forwarder resulting in slower perfromance, where as dialog encryption would only encrypt at the sender and decrypt at the target, so is this the best way to go?
Secondly is it best practice to open a dialog initally and send messages over this dialog for years never ending the conversation? This way the services only have to authenticate eachother once, if there are no reboots etc that is of course.
I would think performance wise sending each message and ending the conversation each time is a much greater overhead ? So would it be best practice to keep dialogs open and keep sending messages ?
Initally when i was learning service broker i thought that one must send a message and end the dialog until the next message, but i think the other way is the best option ?
Is this correct ?
Thanx
Hi
I'm designing a distributed application where I will have SQL Server 2005 distributed databases replicating data to my central hub which is again a SQL Server 2005 database using SQL Service Broker. Data will be sent from the central hub to the distributed sites and vice versa. I need to authenticate the communication and also secure the communication by encrypting the messages. Which security shall I use? Where do I configure the type of security being used? What is the difference between transport security Vs dialogue security - Full security model?
Thanks
