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,
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!

SQL server 2005 express reporting problem.
error message:
This feature "remote access to report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of reporting service
I got this error message when I try to connect to database hosted in another PC running SQL server 2000.
Is it true that SQlL server Express can only use Local Database Engine to host the database?
I am trying to create a TSQL statement or stored procedure that cantell me what users belong to what group and what groups have access towhat files. Can anyone help? Can I pull out a list of names fromActive Directory to use as my user list?

I tried to take it one step further and add a parameter where I could just type in the users Active Directory login id, thus limiting the result set. I also wanted to avoid having to type in the domainnameuserid for each parameter and only wanted to type the userid. So I changed the code (see below) and added a multi-value parameter called users.

Unfortunately, if I type:
Domainnamejblack

I only get a return for the first userid entered. Any ideas?
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
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 CAS entry in rssrvpolicy.config file as following

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.

1. Does SSRS is J-Sox Compliant, an application must have audit trail feature. For Reporting printing, it should facilitate reports' data logging process.
2. Information like WHO and WHEN printed the report and WHAT data was viewed?
Hi My project is in .NET 2003 i.e. framework 1.1 and database in SQLServer 2000. But the reports have been developed using SQLServer 2005 Reporting Services. Now when I am trying to deploy them through deployment project of .NET its giving me following error:"Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. Now I am really confused with this. Can any one please guide me regarding this ASAP. Thanks, Falguni

I got through the installation hoops for SQLEXPRESS Reporting Services in Vista and set up the default configurations in Report Services Configuration. I can explore the default directory for "Reports" in IIS7, but I can't browse in IE. I get the "The report server is not responding. verify that the report server..." message in the browser. This is after I migrated the app per the initial http 500 error using the preferred method - %systemroot%system32inetservAPPCMD.exe migrate config "Default Web Site/Reports".
I'm running Vista Ultimate, VS2005, SQLEXPRESS SP2. I've tried running IE as admin and also I've disabled UAC from gpedit.msc - ...Windows SettingsSecurity SettingsLocal PolicySecurity Options and unchecking UAC.

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
every 1 hour my server's computer is restarting !
when the windows finish restarting i open the Event viewer and see that what coused it is the error :
"Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database."
Event 107

How can i solve it ?
do you mean first install SDK, then install IIS, then install report sever?
I have same problem.
any can help?
I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Thanks,

We have a remote business client who has a proxy server setup and this translates into receiving a 407 proxy authentication blocking error when attempting to download the report builder application for deployment off the report server which is housed locally with us. The proxy server does not allow them to download application type files off another site. At the moment, they would not like to disable the proxy for these users to allow them to deploy the application on their client or add the report server as a trusted site. Is there a method by which Report Builder can be locally installed on the client pc instead of online only with it knowing the correct report server to access and then still launch correctly when the report builder button is pressed through report manager?
I am not a web application guru by any means and we have tried to replicate the oneclick deployment and what occurs in the local settings/apps/2.0 subdirectories, but the application still attempts to download/install again. If we attempt to just launch the local executable on the client, report builder assumes the client pc (localhost) is the report server to access. Is there a method which will succeed?
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
I have an interesting problem to report that I'm hoping someone will be able to assist in solving.
I have a report that contains a table inside of a list. When I view this report on my local machine via Visual Studio, everything appears normal, the columns are all the correct size. However, as soon as I publish this report to the report server and attempt to view it via Report Manager, one of the columns expands horizontally!
From all of the documentation I have read, I understand that Reporting Services does not provide the ability for columns to expand horizontally, only vertically. Can anyone help explain why this is happening or a possible solution to turn this automatic expanding off?
Many thanks,

I'm having problems navigating from one report to another one if the second report has a multi-valued report parameter.

The current way I have my asp.net 2.0 web app running reports is, based on an
interface the user selects the criteria for a report. The .RDL file is created
dynamically based on the user's selections.
I then need to SOAP the dynamically created report to the report server and
then the report runs fine.
BUT it requires Adminstrative rights to do this. Can this be accomplished
without giving the local machine admin rights. I am sorry if this question
has been answered before but i have not been up here in a while.

I just created a report builder. I have a main report and i wanted to create a sub report. why i cant or i cant view the path or the folder of my .rdl file to be use as my sub report.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi All,
We have 10 charts in One RDL file, out of these 10 charts 3 Pie charts are displayed dynamically,
Using 'Visibility' property expression in the 'Hidden' sub property as below.
Code Block
=iif(Sum(Fields!Total.Value, "DataSet")=0,true,False)
Which returns 'true' or 'false' for 'Hidden' property.
Each chart has to be displayed on separate page, hence we have set 'PageBreakAtEnd' Property to true for each chart.
Problem:
But, when this RDL file is deployed on report server, these charts are all displayed on single page without any page breaks.
however, when the RDL file is exported in PDF format, the report is rendered with charts on separate pages as expected.
Is there any way to ensure the charts are rendered properly, in report viewer of report server ?
I want to make the ReportServer and Reports pages secured i.e not allow anyone to access these pages via browser.
I login to a machine as user ABC. This user does not have permission on reports.
if this user accesses ReportServer or Reports, expected is that access should be denied unless I enter
an account that has been given permissions.
for e.x. following pages should be secured.
http://<reportserver>/Reports
http://<reportserver>/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2f<Report_Project>%2f<Report_Name>
http://<reportserver>/ReportServer
http://<reportserver>/ReportServer?%2f<Report_Project>&rs:Command=ListChildren
Actual result is that I am able to access these pages. When I click on the report I get the error (this is expected)
but then user ABC should be shown error on first page itself.
In short, for all the accounts that do not already have permissions on reports, the server should challenge me to enter an account and password.
Is there some setting in the configuration file?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have created and deployed a data source (which uses "Credentials supplied by the user running the report") and a model which uses this data source.
Also I have built a report using Report Builder and all works well.
Now I wish to use Visual Studio to build a report, so I'm trying to create a data source from my computer which the report should use and I want it to use the model on the remote server. In the Report Wizard I am using "Report Server Model" and the following connection string:
Server="http://<remoteserver>/reportserver";datasource="/Models/MyModel"
IHowever I can't make the credentials to work. I've tried them all with no luck. What username/password must I use? Because so far nothing of what I have tried works.
Any help is highly appretiated.
