Hello
I was wondering if there is a white paper that exists with the best practices for security. I am interested in best practice's for deployment in an enterprise environment. I have multiple SSRS sites and want to get the security and access issues under a workable plan.
Thanks
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!

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,
Have compiled and set up a custom security extension for SQL Reporting Services on my local machine and got it working. However, I'm trying to copy the extension across to a different server. So far, I've tried copying the updated dlls straight from my machine to the server and making the relevant changes in Reporting Services .config files (rsWebApplication.config, rssvrpolicy.config, etc)
Initially, the Forms authentication redirects to a login page as expected. However, when we try to submit a login name and password from this login page, it throws this error message:
"Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined."
Is copying the dlls straight across a bad idea?
If anyone has encountered a similar issue, do you know if there are there certain things I should be checking for, or have missed, when trying to replicate a custom security extension on a different machine?
(FYI, the original server where it worked was Windows XP SP2, new server is Windows Server 2003 SP1)
i would like to pose a question, when a user do a login in SSRS server,is it possible to pass the username to SSAS tabular, to implement security? I've tested using USERNAME() creating a role that relates USERNAME() with a dim user username, but now i need to implement it with the username used in SSRS server.

I have Visual Studio 2005 with an application that I'm trying to access it with within a WCF service.
The login ID of the service is added to the database.
The database has remote access turned on.
The ID is granted access to all databases within the server.
The thread is being set with WindowsProvider and the services set their thread to WindowsProvider.
The dataserver is set with using Windows Authentication for security.
When I open my connection to the database, though, it reports the typically useless message that the connection is not allowed and that the server may not allow remote connections.
How to I get past this? I've done everything right.

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

Currently we are using Custom Delivery Extension for SSRS 2008R2 We are planning to move it SSRS2012
My Question is: Whether we can use the same Code used for SSRS2008R2 to SSRS2012?
if not what code changes we should do?
Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too. So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC. Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool. When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
Thanks!

If I develop a report in SSRS 64 bit, can it be ported to a 32 bit installation? Any issues?
I will do my own testing, but I was curious if anyone else had experience doing this.
I have setup a linked server on the same computer but different instances of sql. When I call the sprocs an error occurs... The message is...
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server LINKEDSQL does not contain the table ""product"."dbo"."AccountTable". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have persmissions on that table.
I've checked the table "AccountTable" and it does exist. The database exist also which is "product". I also configure the linked server's RPC to "true" and timeout to "200". The linked server is also configured to use a single username and password which exist on the instance of sql that the linked server is connecting. Also, I enabled the instances of sql to allow remote connections and use mixed authentications.
The mode of access is that different client pc will call a method created with .NET, which in turn, call the sprocs on the linked server. Should I add all the client pc that will be calling the method? Why I'm getting this error? Help please? Thanks
I would like to trap all of the hosts connecting to one of my sql servers and then determine if one of the hosts is not on my list of approved hosts. If the host is not approved, I would process an alert.
I have written a stored proc that queries the sysprocesses table and then raises the alert. The problem is that sysprocesses only includes entries for the length of the connection. Someone could access the server quickly in between my proc running and I would not capture it. I thought about putting a trigger on sysprocesses to write to a history table but I do not like to put triggers in the master db.
Has anyone tackled this issue before or know where I could get a history of all connections to the sql server?
We have a 3rd Party system running on SQL Server that has presented us with a security problem.
All logins are handled by the application but the end result is each user has an easily identifiable login and password on the sql server box itself.
At a basic level there is nothing to stop a user linking through Microsoft Access and deleting table contents. We could live with that as Access knowledge is very limited.
Unfortunately a couple of developers now have Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer installed on their workstations and they have already begun poking their noses where they are not welcome. The possiblity of data edits without an audit trail is now much higher.
Is there something I can do to block access?
I have found a stored procedure sp_MSSQLDMO70 in the master database which when execute is denied the user cannot log on through EM but is there anything similar for QA?

When giving access to users, an application they are using will normally update tables correctly.
If the user connects with another product such as Access or Excel, they may be able to make invalid updates.
One way to prevent this seems to be to use Application Secrurity provided in SQL 7.0.
Is there a way to give users read access to tables when they are not using the main application, and update access when they are using the main application?
New to MS SQL, using v7.0. Need a way to allow developers to create, modify, delete stored procedures in a database. I've tried several things but can't seem to get it. Anyone doing this? Do not want to give them dbo, company wants DBA's to have authority for all objects in a database, but developers have only authority on developing Stored procedures. thanks in advance.

I have 30 databases resides on SQL Server 7.o. These databases will be accessed from the outside from 30 different DBA's.
How can I eliminate their privileges so they can only work with their own database and see the other databases grayed out?
Knowingly that each of them will have the DBO privilege on their database.
I'm very confused between the server roles, dbo permissions that I can't change.
