How do you stop anyone from the outside world from viewing the report manager?
From typing eg( www.mywebaspreportapp.com/Reports) and directly accessing the report manager?
Is there a security step i missed somewhere?
I'm having a strange problem with SSRS 2005 that I'm hoping someone might be able to help with. I've reinstalled SSRS (multiple times) and even reinstalled IIS hoping to resolve the problem, but it still exists.
The problem is that trying to view a report via Report Manager is failing. All other operations within Report Manager work fine (browsing folders and report lists, viewing folder and report properties, changing properties, setting permissions, etc.) Only trying to view reports fails. Whenever I try to view a report, I get the following error:
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied.
I can view reports via other methods just fine. For example, if I browse to the http://localhost/reportserver URL directly, I can view any report just fine. And if I connect to SSRS via SSMS, I can view reports there as well. I believe that both of those methods use a direct reportserver URL versus using the http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx page within the Report Manager virtual directory.
Here's a bit of configuration information that may or may not be helpful to someone:
1. This is on a laptop running Windows XP SP2 (32-bit). SSRS (and all SQL Server components) are installed as default instances and SQL Server SP2 has been applied to everything.
2. All of the latest updates and fixes for Windows, SQL Server, Office, etc. have been installed via Windows Update.
3. This laptop is a member of a domain, but I am typically not connected to the domain (not in the office very often). I am, however, logging into the laptop using a domain account (with cached credentials). Local user accounts are frowned on by the domain and IT administrators involved (except for running local services). My domain account has full admin permissions within Windows and within SQL everywhere.
4. As far as I can tell, everything with regards to IIS, asp.net, and SSRS are configured correctly (ASPNET account seems to be set up correctly, all SQL services including the SSRS service are running under a local account with admin permissions, the Reports and ReportServer virtual directories in IIS are set to use Integrated Security, etc.)
I'm not an expert on SSRS, so this one has me stumped. I've reviewed all of the config files that I can think of looking at for SSRS and I've looked at the SSRS logs. Nothing really jumps out at me in terms of changes that might be required (and the SSRS logs don't really say much other than repeating the error). For example, I see the following lines in the ReportServerWebApp__xxx.log file:
aspnet_wp!ui!8!5/14/2008-13:00:17:: e ERROR: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied.
aspnet_wp!ui!8!5/14/2008-13:00:17:: e ERROR: HTTP status code --> 500
-------Details--------
System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied.
Anyone have any ideas? I've searched Google for quite a while trying to find something that would help me figure this out, but thus far I've not been able to come up with anything. Any help (or pointers to something on teh web somewhere that I might have missed) would be appreciated!!

I have been using Microsoft Business Intelligence for 1st time. This software has been able to create my reports based on a table I have. But note, this report is built using Business Intelligence (Visual Studio). Now, the Report pulls data from a database. I also have a C# application that interfaces with this same database. What I would like to do is to display the content of this report in my C# application. How do I go about doing this?

Hello all.
I have an ASP.NET application which allows the selection of various reporting services created reports to be selected via a drop-down. Until recently this has worked no problem at all, however now a strange error has surfaced.
When the user selects to view a report, the first selection shows the report correctly. However when a second report is selected, instead of displaying the second report, the screen simply posts back but doesnt actually display the second report.
Any idea people?
I have created a report, in SQL RS 2000, using My Windows Credentials.

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help

Pl advise.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to browse a report in a new browser window?
regards
Josh
I've made some reports using the Report Designer. When i run them in the Report Designer everything is correct. Then in my webpage i have links to launch the same reports. The viewer is launching the report using the HTML4.0 format parameter in the URL.
In the viewer my report is so ugly. Some textbox doesn't have the same height, other are not align correctly. What i don't understand is if i tried to print the report or export it in PDF or in TIFF everything is ok. I only have the problem when i tried to view the report using the viewer with the HTML4.0 parameter.
So is this a problem with the viewer ? Is there something i can do to correct this problem ?
Thanks !
Hello, we're having a bit of an issue getting Report Server to display reports. We've published via the web-interface and Visual Studio. After we publish, it gives an error and it looks as if it's trying to find the data source that we used to create the report. We've changed the datasource names to match that of the local machine too. Here's the error...
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'LocalDataSourceName'.
Keyword not supported: 'driver'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi,
I have installed RS 2005 in my machine. If some one else wants to view reportmanger in my machine, does he have to install ssrs 2005 in his machine too?
I can acces my report manager from my machine by just typing http:\localhost
eports or http:\mymachine
eports
The other persone also wants to access my report manager by just typing http:\mymachine
eports.
Also if there are more than one client machines , do they need to have RS 2005 in each machine.
Thanks

Hi.
I get a problem when I want to preview a report in Report Builder. I just launch Report Builder by the url [1] (RS is on a server, and I work on a laptop). Then I choose a model and create a simple report. When I press "Run Report", I get an error message saying: "The permissions granted to user 'mydomainmyusername' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)". But my user are assigned to content manager...
If I then save the report to the Report Server, I can access the report through e.g. the Report Manager without any problems.
Why doesn't the preview functionality work for me? Are there some settings I need to set, or is it a bug in Report Builder?
Regards, Tomsi

Hi
I'm new to SQL Reporting Services and I've been asked to create an online environment for a client where their customers can log on and view a report. The client wants to make sure that each customer can only see data that is relevant to them, and that other customer's information is hidden from whoever is logged on.
Can this be done through a username/password setup or is the solution more complex?
Thanks very much!
I have built the reports that I need using Visual Studio and the SQL 2005 Reporting Server, but now I need a way to view the reports via a web browser.
I am not much of a web/programming expert, so any help that could walk me through the process of publishing the .rdl files that I have created via a web browser would be much, much appreciated. Again, I am a novice in the the web arena, so the more straight forward the steps the better.
Thanks!
We are running SQL 2000 SP3 on a Win2K server with multiple user databases. Our current problem is the ability of users to view the database objects via the native tools.
Example: User Bob
Bob has the following rights:
DB A – datareader/datawriter
DB B – datareader/datawriter
DB C – datareader
DB D – datareader
DB E – datareader/datawriter
The user has no builder rights or server roles.
In Enterprise Manager, the user can not see any databases. In Query Analyzer, the user can only see DB A, B, and C. Anyone seen this problem before and/or have suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Hello
I have created a report that works how I want it in the visual studio 2003 designer. I have deployed it to our test box (sql server 2k, reporting services with sp2) and when we preview the report, there is a giant white space between the graph in the report and the matrix object below it. This white space was not in the designer. It only shows when previewing the report. If you print from the report manager, it does not print the white space.
Is there a way to remove it from the report manager when the report is previewed? I am sure users will complain when they see this.
Thanks.
Ben
We are using Reporting Services 2000.
The print button that is present in the browser is working just fine for some users.
But some users are complaining that on clicking the print button their system restarts.
Some other users are also getting the error "An error occurred during printing. (0x80004005)"
However on closing the browser and opening the report in it again this issue is resolved.
So, the main concern is "Restart of the machine on click of the PRINT icon in reports viewed in some application browser."
Please help!!
Hello Friends,
I have created few reports in SSRS 2005 on Windows 2003 Standard. Previouly I was not able to view reports from my .ASPX page which contained a ReportViewer, after going throuhg some other threads I was able to create a snap-shot for my reports . But still I'm not able to view reports, each time I try to view the page I get a message box with a error as : "Unable to locate control SSRS 2005: oReportCell" the same error is displayed when i try to access my reports from "http://localhost/reports.....".
But the funny thing is I'm able to view the reports when I use the following URL: "http://localhost/reportserver/pages/reportviewer.aspx?/<report>". I have applied all the Hotfixes & installed the latest Service packs. Any suggestions ???????
We are using SQL 2005 / Windows Server 2003 / Sharepoint portal.
Our reports are used through Sharepoint. I have added a web part which displays the folders. There are several reports within each of the folders. Users that have access to the Sharepoint site have access to all of the reports that are available in all of the folders. I would like to control folder access through SSRS.
What is the best way for me to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Experts,
Hi experts,
I have a BI Reporting scenario, wherein i have to fetch Reports from analysis Services.
when the user tries to access a report, he should be validated uisng the Windows Authentication ID, and only data specific to that user should be display.
I am not sure if this user authentication is to be done on analysis Services/reporting services.
Any suggestions/pointers would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Can somebody explain the process for implementing Item-Level security for reports? My requirement is as follows:
I have some reports pertaining to a specific department, where in I deployed them to a specific folder on Reporting Services. Now I need to give exclusive read access to those reports for the users in that department. They should not be able to create any folders / new reports etc.
The steps I have followed:
1. Deployed the reports from VS 2005 to a specific folder called "TheirReports" and in this I placed the Data source also as a seperate folder.
2. I clicked on Site Settings in Report Manager and then clicked on Configure Item-Level role definitions.
3. Clicked on New Role and gave a name as ReportsBrowser and checked the options --> "View Data sources / View folders / View reports / View resources"
4. Now I went back to the specific folder and clicked on Properties -> Security -> New Role Assignment.
5. Added the necessary users binding them to ReportsBroser role.
When I'm checking from the user machine, they are able to create new folders etc.
Appreciate your ideas.
Thanks
Hi,
I`m using security manager to grant rights to a group from our domain. Whenever I try to grant the group named LMCS it displays the progress window, but finishes with no logins added, no logins already present and no errors.
I have made a copy of the group (called LMCSTest) , and all the logins (76 in all) are created OK.
Im using SQL 6.5 sp4 / NT 4 sp3.
Has anyone got an ideas on this as it does seem very strange ?
Thanks,
Paul.
If a developer has SQL Enterprise Manager (sql2000) on their machine because they need access to a test server, how can I stop them from adding a new Sql Server Registration to connect to other SQL servers ?

Does anyone know why when I try to connect to a Server via SQL Security Manager, I get the message: 'This SQL Server does not support Windows NT SQL Server security stored procedures'
How can I resolve this? Thank you in advance.
When runing a report in Report Manager I can click on an item and SQL Server provides the logic to drill down into the underlying tables. I can find no button to go back. The only way I've found to go back is to click a different tab at the top of the screen (History or something) then click View again and you get the original report. In designer there's a back button. Is there not such a button when running a saved report????
Thanks.
I have one master report and 4 linked reports. I deployed a report and set defaults for BeginDate and EndDate as =Today(). I have 4 linked reports that I need to change the date parameters for each. For instance the first linked reports needs to be BeginDate =Today() and the EndDate as =Today()+30. So in my linked report, I tried to change the EndDate to =Today()+30 and an error, 'The value provided for the report parameter 'BeginDate' is not valid for its type.'
So I can't put =Today() or =Today()+30 in the parameters once I override the defaults. Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?
Thanks, Iris
When we move reports from one folder to another in Report Manager we have to delete the report in the destination folder first before moving it over if a version is already there. If not we get the error that an item with that name already exists. Is there a way around this? Is there a setting which will allow over-write of a report?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst of all, following is my setup.
I have Reporting Services installed on my web server (Windows 2003) where I am hosting my website too.
While installing Reporting Services, I used my database server as SQL Server (Windows 2000, SQL Server 2000).
Now when I try to access from browser using http://servername/reports it's giving me following error: "The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship with remote server."
Also when I try to access http://servername/reportserver/ it gives me this error: "The permissions granted to user '{servername}IUSR_{servername}' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) Get Online Help"
I have given full access to "ASPNET", as well as "IUSR_{servername}" on the folder "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLReporting Services"
While installing reporting services, I used SQL mode of authentication.
My goal is to have reports on internet for public view. I have "Enable Anonymous access" check box checked on IIS with user name "IUSR_{servername}"
I have looked many places for the error and while many people is having same error, everyone has different reason and different solutions.
Not sure what I am missing here...Can anybody help?
Thanks

I am able to deploy and run reports from my screen at work, but some non-developers cannot run them. They can see the reports, but get the following error message when they click on the report:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
--------------------------

- I assume the preceding error has something to do with credentials. I am using Windows security authentication for this. One user has worked through this and is now getting cannot run report query (one of the report queries in the report). Help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I am trying to grant users permissions to our database, but when I add the users through a local group, I receive a mapped name of DOMAIN_USERNAME.
We are using standard security, with the SSQL server in a resource domain. I have created a local group with the global group inside it from the accounts domain. This seems usual MS practice to me.
We do not want these long cumbersome login names, but I am slowly worrying that there may perhaps be no way around it. Can't they just login with their normal username?
Any light...
Jack.
