SharePoint Integration - Menu Options Missing With Forms Authentication
Feb 19, 2007
Hi -
I have SRS configured in SharePoint Integration mode. I have exposed a site collection under two MOSS-enabled websites - the first site has Forms Authentication enabled and the second site has Windows Integrated security enabled.
I have noticed that when I access the website with Forms Authentication I an unable to select "New (Report Model/Report Builder/Report DataSource)" options on my SRS integrated document library. When I access the site using WIndows Integrated security the menu options appear fine. Is there some sort of security trimming happening here that I am not aware of?
Thanks

Well, I have SQL Server 2005 SP2 Reporting Services installed and configured in sharepoint integrated mode, so I am deploying reports in sharepoint libraries. Also I configured sharepoint to use forms authentication with builtin AspNetSqlMembership provider, but after this action I couldnot open reports through sharepoint library, instead of this, error was displayed mentioned below. I searched and found hotfix Cumulative Update 3 build 3186 for this issue, request it from microsoft support and applied it, but nothing has changed!
Error I have been experiencing is following:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server.
Verify that the report server is available and configured for
SharePoint integrated mode. --> The request failed with the error
message:
--
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="/_layouts/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=
%2f_vti_bin
%2fReportServer%2fReportService2006.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
I continued to dig and find out that this hotfix should update Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll from version 9.0.3042.0 to new version 9.0.3180.0, but when I checked file version after applying hotfix, it remained the same as was before i.e. 9.0.3042.0. Apparently this cumulative update does not fix this issue.
anyone has any idea how to solve it? Thanks in advance.
sorry for my poor english :-)

Hi there,
I am implementing SSRS 2005 Sharepoint integration mode in a stand alone server and we are having problems with basic authentication.
When the MOSS web application and the Report Server application is in Windows Integrated authentication Everything works fine and we can upload and view reports in the sharepoint site.
But when we switch the MOSS web application into basic authentication and RS stays the same with windows integrated authentication the reports in sharepoint throw 401 unauthorized errors. It looks like the error occurs when accessing the _vti_bin/ReportServer/ReportService2006.asmx web service??
Anyone have any fix on this????
Does SSRS 2005 Sharepoint integration mode support Basic authentication???

Hello,
I installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and SQL Server Management Studio Express. I am trying to set up merge replication. When I right-click the Replication folder in Object Explorer, the Configure Distribution menu item is not there. Also missing is the New - Publication menu item. All I can do is add New Subscriptions. I am logged in as admin with full priveledges. Am I missing something? Thanks!
FYI: I am running Windows XP SP2 and have installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. Thanks again...

I get the following error when I try to navigate to a report/model/data source, stored in a Sharepoint Document Library using a Sharepoint URL based on an Extranet or Intranet zone - but it works OK using the url for the Default zone:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SecurityZoneNotSupportedException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used.
Is this a limitation of the SQLRS-WSS3 integration or is there a workaround?
Many thanks to anyone who can help!

I have a 2003 Server which has two Named Instances of SQL Server 2000.
I need to add a third Named Instance, but when I logged onto the Server this morning, I noticed that all of the
'Microsoft SQL Server' Entries are missing from the START/PROGRAMS menu !! Enterprise Manager, BOL... everything!! The SQL Server Service Manager is running and both of my Instances are up and running (this is a production box). I can launch Enterprise Manager from MMC.EXE in WINDOWSSystem32 folder... very weird!!!!
In my Add/Remove Programs, I see MS SQL Server listed Twice.. one time for each of the two named Instances.
Has anyone ever seen this before??? Do you think it's safe to run SQL Server Installation to Install a Third Instance on this box???

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?

Does anyone know the location of Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll after you install the web part? I am wondering if I can inherit from this web part to wrap some other functionality into it. I know that i see it in the GAC buyt can't seem to find it so I can look at the assembly using reflector.
Also, how easy is it to pass in parameters to the Report Viewer?
Thanks!

Since I wasn't getting any replies with answers or suggestions to my initial posting, I figured I would continue to list the problems and solutions I've encountered while trying to setup and utilize SharePoint integration mode, and read data from SharePoint with SSRS reports (developed in VS2005). Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that is also trying to learn all this stuff and figure it out.
(Single server - W2K3R2_SP2 as: DC / SQL2005 Standard / MOSS2007 Enterprise - see the bottom of this posting for the steps I took to set that up)
Note: After I get this to work, I intend to post my experiences for setting up SharePoint Integration with SQL and SP on separate boxes.
1. In the new reporting section under SharePoint application management in the Central Admin Console, the Grant database AND Set Server Defaults work when using the domain admin account, but not when using the SQLSPS service account I used to setup both SQL and SharePoint. Why can't I use the service account? Is the domain admin account now going to be used as a service account for accessing the sharepoint database?
This question remains unanswered as of yet.
2. Reporting Services configuration tool shows Sharepoint integration as red x when I create a new database in integration mode. (the service account SQLSPS and the Server object are members of the group WSS_WPG). If I switch back to native mode (the original reportserver database), the red x goes to a blue exclamation instead. Using Service Credentials or Windows credentials (as either the service account SQLSPS or as domain admin) doesn't change anything.
RESOLVED by using a domain user account for the ReportServer WebApp. Even though everything is installed on the same machine, it seems using the default of NETWORK SERVICE wasn't acceptable. Possibly because SharePoint is configured to allow additional machines in the farm?
3. http://servername:8080/reportserver will display Report Server information as it did before the integration on port 80, but http://servername/reportserver doesn't display anything through SharePoint.
Resolved. I needed to define a repository before I could view it (go figure). When I created a sharepoint site based on a report center template, created a data connection library and report library, and then referenced that by http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, I was able to see the equivalent of http://servername/reports (which is now disabled due to integration mode).
4. Unable to deploy to new report center sharepoint site I mention above using Visual Studio. I kept getting "A connection could not be made to the report server http://servername/sites/ReportCenter. Server was unable to process request. The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service unavailable (System.Web.Services). In Visual Studio, the project properties were: TargetDataSourceFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myDataConnectionLibrary, TargetReportFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, TargetServerURL = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/
Found these errors in the event logs on the server.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1021
Description:
The identity of application pool, 'ReportServer' is invalid. If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1057
Description:
The identity of application pool 'ReportServer' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool. Therefore, the application pool has been disabled.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1059
Description:
A failure was encountered while launching the process serving application pool 'ReportServer'. The application pool has been disabled.
RESOLVED the issue by changing the Application Pool used by reporting services from ReportServer to DefaultAppPool and changing the account DefaultAppPool used from NETWORK SERVICE to my service account SQLSPS. I have no idea why ReportServer is invalid, it was set to use the service account SQLSPS the same as DefaultAppPool is. Perhaps the reporting services add-on makes a change to invalidate this?
5. Attempting to read a SharePoint list using a SSRS report. This should be fun.
First, created a new custom list in the ReportCenter SharePoint sites I've been using and called it myCustomList. I added one item with a title of myCustomListItem1. I don't know if I need to do more than that for a simple test of reporting or not yet.
Second, configured new shared data source. Name = myCustomList1DataSource, type=XML, Connection String = http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (this URL is viewable in IE), Using Windows authenticaion.
Third, in VS2005 on a workstation in the domain, create new report item (report1.rdl). New dataset for report; Name=Report1DataSet, Data Source=myCustomList1DataSource (Shared), Command type = text, Query String = [See Queries and associated errors below]:
Initial query obtained from: Connecting SQL Reporting Services to a SharePoint List (David Wise)
http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx
Note: Queries when executing the dataset (which errors out) and when executing a query in CAML Viewer for the same information (which does work just fine) both initially return 401.1 and 401.2 errors (as viewed in Fiddler). Since the CAML query works, I have not tracked this down yet.
A. Original format from posting

<SoapAction>
http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems
</SoapAction>

- Advanced information from the error => 'http' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '"' or '''. Line 2, position 19. (System.Xml)
B. Changed: Placed the namespace URL in quotes (also tried with and without / in namespace after /soap)

</Query>
And tried entering no query...

RESOLVED. Went back to the query used in B above, and mysteriously it works now. This could be the "funny things happen" symptom I've been reading about. We'll see if it continues to function.
Here's what I've learned so far on Issue #5:
1. XML is confusing. XmlDP is even more confusing...whatever that is. Apparently it's new to/with Reporting Services in SharePoint integration mode?
2. There is far too little documentation regarding XmlDP and querying SharePoint lists from SQL Reporting Services.
3. According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx: You must use the generic query designer to create the query. The query is not analyzed to identify parameters; therefore you must create parameters through the Parameter tab on the Dataset dialog box.
Tried this query:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems" />
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>myCustomReport2</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef name="ows_Date" />
</OrderBy>
</Parameters>
</Query>
I was still prompted for the listName and the list returned with ows_Date still out of order. So maybe that proves this statement is true?
<translation: why make it convenient when it's already [somewhat] functional?>
4. When building the dataset, anything I place in the "Query string" box has to be enclosed in <query></query> tags or it errors out. I am trying to understand how to translate the CAML viewer query (which does work but isn't wrapped in query tags) into something that fits between query tags, and it hasn't gone well so far.
<translation: To be at one with your reports Grasshopper, you must understand xml>
5. According to http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx, "GetListItems" operation is supported
<translation: you're getting warmer...>
6. According to the soap output of my site http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems, I am only allowed to specify the following parameters: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID.
<translation: that and $3.00 will get you a cup of coffee>
7. According to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) (query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS).
<translation: that kind of sucks>
8. When this started mysteriously working again, I tested using the "/" at the end of the namespace (wouldn't work without) and the "=" sign in front of the parameter value as defined on the parameter tab of the dataset (turns out to be optional).
As long as I can query SharePoint and get my list information back, I'm going to consider this issue closed and move on to actually using this information in a report. I'm sure that won't work right either, but why stop now?!
6. Ok, now that I can read SharePoint list data with SSRS, I need to try and actually do something with it.
A. Begin by setting up new data to report on
1. Create a new custom list (myCustomList2) and add a test record. This list will simulate the data we intend to submit to SharePoint using InfoPath, so it has a number of custom/created columns in it
2. Modify the working information from #5 above; add a new shared data source (myCustomList2DataSource), tell the dataset to use the new shared data source, change the information set in the parameter tab (Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList2) and test the dataset. Lucky me, it actually returned the record I entered on the first try.
B. Begin to build the report with the dataset returned
1. So, as I'm feeling good that it's actually reading the list in Step A without me threatening to destroy the machine, I look to the left in the Dataset results navigation pane in VS2005 and realize there are NO fields for me to choose to report on.
2. At this point, I have no clue what to do about getting this XML data into a report. Not that I have a large clue about SSRS otherwise, but I have at least been able to build SSRS reports when using a SQL database as the datasource. Fyi, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx states: "Reports can use data from XML documents and Web services, or embed XML in the query. There is no built-in support for retrieving XML documents from a SQL Server database.", in case anyone is trying to do that....
RESOLVED. Since the fields were not appearing automatically, I had started to add new fields to the dataset manually (if it doesn't work, beat it with a hammer, right?). I entered half a dozen or so fields, each one with the exact name as displayed in the query results, and then decided it would be fun to hit the refresh fields icon. As soon as I did that, all the fields shown in the query immediately appeared in the dataset and I was able to add them to a report. I don't know if I hit the refresh fields when working in issue #5, so I can't say if they are there now because of that, or because of adding some fields manually first, a combination of the two, or if it's just one of those mystery items I'm reading about with sharepoint reporting.
7. Rows are being returned even though they have NULL values (so far anyway), and most data is returning nicely for the bulk of the columns I created in the list I'm reporting on. Here are the current issues:
A. I have one column in my SharePoint list that is multi-lined text. If the text type is either rich text or enhanced rich text, the value returned in the query is formatted like this: "<div class=ExternalClassyadayada<div>My notes display here". If I set the column to be plain text, this doesn't happen. I will need to figure out how to filter that for my report.
RESOLVED. David Wise had some code listed at http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx that addressed this issue somewhat. I modified it to match my circumstances. Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer, so use this at your own risk.
function ExtractMultiLineText(myField as string) as string
dim strBegin as string
dim strEnd as string
dim myBegin as integer
dim myEnd as integer
dim myTextLength as integer
strBegin = "<div>"
strEnd = "</div>"
if myField = nothing then return ""
if myField = "" then return ""
myBegin = Instr(myField, strBegin) + Len(strBegin)
myEnd = Instr(myField, strEnd)
myTextLength = myEnd - myBegin
if myBegin < 1 then return myField
return mid(myField, myBegin, myTextLength)
end function
B. I have two columns in the SharePoint list that are set as number values with 0 decimal places. When I query those however in SSRS, they return with the number plus like 12 zeroes behind the decimal. Not a major issue, but I'll put it on the list anyway.
RESOLVED. Used the Int() function; =Int(Fields!ows_myProblemNumber)
C. If I go to "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems", it appears from the sample soap output that I am allowed to ask GetListItems for is: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID. As I mentioned in issue #5, according to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) and query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS.
So, if I can't put anything other than this in my query string;
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>
and I only have a couple parameters to pass on top of that, then it appears to me that my options for filtering the amount of data returned from the SharePoint list is to figure out a way to do it with expressions in the parameters or in the report itself. Am I missing something? Is this really all I get to work with out-of-the-box?

I could really use help getting form authentication to work. I have a box with a web site and ReportingServices installed(which if I can get this working will be moved to the DMZ). The databases are on a different machine(which will on on our network).
I have been working with the sample provided with the install and this blog.
http://blogs.msdn.com/bimusings/archive/2005/12/05/500195.aspx
My problem is that I can logon and authenticate but when I call ListChildren() my System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials is empty so I get nothing back from the call.
I know that I have a valid cookie because after I logon I can use the Reports and the ReportServer URL's and go directly to those pages.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to make ListChildren() work? Do I still call ListChildren()? Documentation is scarce and would appreciate any help provided.
Thanks

We created a custom security extension for RS using Forms Authentication. The issue I am having is in ReportBuilder when the forms authentication ticket expires. Forms auth will attempt to redirect (send a HTTP 302) and the report builder will show the error message "Object moved to here" instead of prompt for credentials. I have been watching the IIS logs and I see the first time report builder start it attempt to connect using default windows credentials and after the FormsAuthenticationRequired exception it will prompt for credentials and invoke LogonUser method, but this only happens the first time or if change the server in the url. I was expecting ReportBuilder to consider the Forms Authentication expiration at any time.
Do you have any idea how to work around this?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

I'm implementing Forms authentication, but I have users stored in two different databases. The "LogonUser" method in my AuthenticationExtension gets an "authority". In that way I can authenticate the user in the correct database.
But... the problem is the CheckAccess method of my AuthorizationExtension. Is it in any way possible to reach the "authority" information from inside it? I need to grant some access to users of the first database and some other access to the users of the second database.

I have successfully implemented forms authentication in RS. It works great to navigate to https://myserver/Reports. I get redirected to the login-page etc. It also works great to use the ReportViewer from within my WinForms app, using the
reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.SetFormsCredentials
method. I'm also able to communicate with RS through it's web services by first calling the 'LogonUser' method. However, to get that to work I had to inherit the ReportExecutionService for the cookie-handling to work.
Now over to my problem (the only thing so far I haven't got working). I'm trying to use a ReportViewer on an ASP.net web page to access the reports. I have understood that 'SetFormsCredentials' is not avaliable here. Instead, as far as I have understood, I should implement my own IReportServerCredentials . The critical method there I guess is
GetFormsCredentials(out Cookie authCookie, out string formsUser, out string formsPassword, out string formsAuthority)
, am I right?
It's here my problem starts. The examples I have seen haven't implemented this method since they use other types of authentication. So, I would need an example of what to fill that method with...

We have customized the report server to use our forms authentication. Our authentication expects a cookie.
Now if I want to deploy reports using a script, how do i do it?. I tried specifying
rs.exe <filename> <username><password> but then it does not work as the cookie doesnt exits?
Any ideas how this could be done? We do not want to use the report manager to deploy reports as we want an automated process.

I have some reports on a report server that needs to be reached in two ways.
1 - From a windows client application (over internet)
2 - From a web browser (over internet)
Windows authentication could not be used here, since the users are not part of any domain etc, so I have implemented forms authentication for Reporting Services as described here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms160724.aspx
My first task was to access the reports from the windows forms application, and I managed to do that without too much trouble using a ReportViewer and setting the custom credentials in this way:
myReportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.SetFormsCredentials(null, "loginname", "password", "");
Works great!
However, now I'm dealing with the second problem... accessing the reports from the web. Sure, this works fine if i just type http://myserver/reports/. This brings up the custom loginpage and if I enter correct login information I get access to the reports... The problem is that I don't want to show everything 'around' (on top of) the report, I just want to show a report. Lets say I have a webpage with two frames. One on the left with a couple of links each representing a singel report. When clicking the link the report should be rendered in the right frame.
What approach should I use here? When and where should the user authentication take place?
I have done some testing with an ASP.NET application using a report viewer, but I seem to get the error:
Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'
I guess this is because Reporting services wants to bring up the login page? I can't find any way of setting the credentials for the reportViewer in my ASP.NET app, like I did in the WinForms app. I'm really not a web-developer so I might be missing some obvious points here, if I do, please point me in the right direction...
I have also read about using the Report server web service to render the html-page without using the reportviewer, but when I try to make a call to a service like this:
ReportingService _rs = new ReportingService();
_rs.Url = "http://myServer/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx";
CatalogItem[] items = _rs.ListChildren("/", true);
I get an exception like the one above, telling:
Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'
Where should I go from here... any help would be much appriciated!

Hi,
After implementing custom security extension for forms authentication, the report server works fine with Report Manager and web application. However, there is a problem with Report Builder.
It gives SecurityException "That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.". Its becos I am using my own security assembly for authentication. I resolved this issue by using the following in my assemblyinfo.cs
[assembly: System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, Name="FullTrust")]
However, now when I login to Report Builder it gives me error System.IO.FileNotFoundException. Its not able to find my security assembly.
I also tried giving FullTrust to the assembly using Framework 2.0 Configuration. I read somewhere that the ClickOnce application caches its last called settings in the manifest file and you have to delete the manifest and manually alter the security in the application settings(properties).
Is this true? Is there any solution to this issue? Is this really an issue with clickonce application?
This is really urgent. Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

On my current project we have a requirement to re-authenticate the user when accessing sensitive information.
We want re-authenticate using standard NT logins against Active Directory (not a custom database or SSO.
This is trivial to configure using Basic Authentication, however I would like to use an ASP.NET login form. I would like to avoid writing a security extension as I do not want to perform custom authentication. I would like the web service to use it's built in authentication and authorisation mechanisms.
Is the above possible???
The following gives some more details about wht I've tried.
I have tried configuring the report server/manager with Forms authentication as in the sample but cannot get it to work with out implementing the security extensions.
I changed the web.config files and the policy files for permissioning my dll with FullTrust. I did not configure an extension as I want reporting services to use it's built in windows security mechanisms.
In the login page code behind I call the ReportingService2005.LogonUser() method which always throws the following exception:
Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with the error message: --

I have a user who is trying to access the SQL 2005 server with 2 seperate accounts(using Windows Authentication). With one account he can connect just fine, but with the seccond he recieves a logon fail error. The only difference that we can tell is that the first account uses a password for our kerberos domain, and the second (that fails) uses a longer pass phrase (which does use spaces as characters). My intuition tells me that shouldn't matter, but I've been wrong before. Can anyone confirm this, or correct me if I'm wrong? This is using ASP.NET 2005 for the front end. The exact Exception details are: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'domainuser "

Hello
I'm trying to get the forms authentication sample working - I have followed the instructions given in the ReadMe that came with the samples. When I try to browse to localhost/reportserver (on the server), instead of seeing the logon page as expected, I get the following error message:
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
Request for the permission of type 'System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

I built the sample in VS 2005, and am using v2 of .net. Reporting services is installed on a windows server 2003 machine.
This has been driving me crazy for a while now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

I am using Reporting services 2005 and have enabled forms authentication using the example found in:
'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesReporting ServicesExtension SamplesFormsAuthentication Sample'
This works correctly without SSL, but when I enable SSL I get an error when logging in. The symptoms are as follows. I can login to the reporting server (in my case <server>/ReportServer2) directory, but when I login to the report manager (in my case at <server>/Reports2) I get the following error:
'The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.'
Can anyone suggest why I might be getting this error?
Thank you,

Hi all,
I need help regarding forms authentication in SSRS. I exactly followed the steps described in the article: http://blogs.msdn.com/bimusings/archive/2005/12/05/500195.aspx. However it doesn€™t seem to be working at my end. The only things that I didn€™t implement correctly are the two members of IExtension interface, here€™s the code for these two members;
public string LocalizedName
{
get { return "Naveed"; }
}
public void SetConfiguration ( string configuration )
{
//throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
}
After performing all the steps mentioned in the article when I access http://<servername>/reports, it displays my login page alright, but when I submit the user credentials (whether right or wrong) it gives me:
€œAccess denied creating App_Data subdirectory€?
Description: For security reasons, the identity 'NAVEEDSIDDIQUIASPNET' (under which this web application is running), does not have permissions to create the App_Data subdirectory within the application root directory. ASP.NET stores the Microsoft SQL Express Database file used for services such as Membership and Profile in the App_Data subdirectory of your application.
Along with steps of how to grant the required permission. My question is why it is trying to create the new directory. Does it mean it is unable to find the database or does it mean something else? When I access http://<servername>/reportserver, it gives me:
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
Could not load type 'Vantage.CustomSecurityExtension.Logon'.
Could not load type 'Vantage.CustomSecurityExtension.Logon'.
Could not load type 'Vantage.CustomSecurityExtension.Logon'.
Could not load type 'Vantage.CustomSecurityExtension.Logon'.
Here €˜Logon€™ is the name of the code-behind class of my login page.
Please help me out in this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Naveed

I have implemented forms authentication via a custom security extension in RS2005 as described in a relevant sample. I am asked for credentials when accessing the Report Manager and the Report Builder, however I can no longer connect to the report server in SQL Server Management Studio (I get HTML code as the error message) and the Preview tab in the Report Designer now fails with User Not Authorized.
I can live with the first problem, but the Report Designer needs to work. When I debug the extension, I can see that LogonUser method is being passed empty strings. This makes sense, since the Report Designer has not asked me for the credentials. Do I need to modify any the of the Designer configs to have it pop up the username/password window (similar to Report Builder) or is the only solution to use Windows Authentication on development machines and Forms Authentication in production?

We've successfully set up SSRS with forms Authentication (yea - wasn't easy!)
If we browse to the default web site, we get the login page. Once we authenticate, we can move around the site and run reports.
If however, we try to access a page (other than the login page) while we're not authenticated we get an exception instead of being redirected to the login page:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Microsoft.ReportingServices.UI.GlobalApp.Application_AuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
If we set the Reportmanagerweb.config file to use Windows authentication, we get a 401 Access Denied page instead.
My first inclination would be to override the Global.asax file for SSRS, swallow the exception and redirect to the Login page. Not sure how to do this since the Global.asax.cs page isn't in the folder (I assume the compiled version hidden away somewhere).
It's not just the intial login either, timeouts are especially frustrating because, instead of being redirected to the login page, the users get the exception.
Any idea what might be causing the exception in the first place?
Thanks!
Mike

I am using forms authentication with reporting services. When I use ReportViewer control calls like:
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri(http://localhost/reportserver);
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/Reports/report1";
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Refresh();
in a web app
I get 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>
Anyone knows how to resolve this issue?

Using Forms Authentication With Windows Apps--
I've used the code from UILogon.aspx (Forms Authentication Security Extension) to extend a proxy server in a windows application to manage the cookie when connecting to a Reporting Services web service.
When the proxy class is instantiated I get this error on the AuthCookie property:

Hi €“ I hope someone can help,
I have developed a custom authentication extension to Reporting Services 2005, using Visual Studio 2005 C#.
In local integration tests the extension behaved as expected, honouring the role based security of our main system. Following the deployment steps laid out from numerous sources all worked perfectly. We were optimistic.
I've since deployed to a 'live' user acceptance staging server, using the same procedures used in Integration and it's behaving incorrectly.
Initially the log in page is displayed as expected, at this point SQL dumps occur in the RS Log directory, the same as is seen here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1750128&SiteID=1
Hopefully there'll be a resolution to that soon. As described in that topic, the main page of Report Manager appears.
After this it all goes wrong.
Sometimes we can browse to a folder and run a report. But after running the report, trying to run something else, or browse back to the containing folder we are presented with the error page with the message:
The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation.
Clicking on the home link brings up the top title and nothing else and you have no option but to close the site and re-login.
Sometimes you get the above message before you can even run a report. The error logs have the message listed at the end of this post.
Other times you log in to the website and the folders don't even appear, just the top title bar.
I have since added some verbose logging in each of the implemented methods in the extension DLL. The permission checking method return true and all the various data in each method appears as expected.
I have checked, checked again and re-checked all the configuration files, they match the local Integration files, barring the machine specific keys etc, they weren't just overwritten.
The location of the log directory where my internal logs are written is read from the configuration files via the SetConfiguration methods, if that wasn't set correctly then there wouldn't be any logs at all, so the configuration is being read correctly by the extension.
One other think that I've noticed is that the back door user that is configured in the config files works perfectly, but I can't see how this can make any sort of a difference as it returns the same result in the extension DLL as a 'normal' user does at the same point in the code.
Can someone please help me, and my poor scalp, it's losing hair at a rate of knots.

I encounter this error when user try to subscribe using email delivery
to one of the report. I have configured the Reporting Services to use
Sharepoint integrated mode. This user is a regular user that has read
access to the report item.
Below is the message detail:
A subscription delivery error has occurred. (rsDeliveryError)
A subscription delivery error has occurred. (rsDeliveryError)
One of the extension parameters is not valid for the following reason:
The account you are using does not have administrator privileges. A
subscription cannot be created for [emailaddress].
(rsInvalidExtensionParameter)
Is it true that user needs to have administrator privilege in order to
subscribe for report? I don't think so, right?

Hi,
Sorry for the long post but I'll try to give a maximum of information.
I've tried to implement Form Authentication for Reporting Services. Right now, just about everything works as I would hope for, i.e.:
When I try to access http://<server>/ReportServer$SQLSERVER_2005, I am redirected to the authentication form.
When successfully authenticated, I can access the report
I can display reports throught the ReportViewer Web control by passing the authentication cookie.
Etc.
(Note: My implementation of Form Authentication was inspired by http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/26759/0/page/1 which seems similar to Microsoft Sample)
(The $SQLSERVER_2005 suffix is because SQL Server 2000 is also installed on the server, but I don't think Reporting Services 2000 is installed)
There is one thing which does not work however and it is the Report Manager.
When I try to access http://<server>/Reports$SQLSERVER_2005, I would expect to be redirected to the /Pages/UILogon.aspx page. Instead, I get an error page with the following message:
"The report server is not responding. Verify that the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer."
Both ReportServer and Reports are on the same server, both have the same security on the folder and in IIS (6.0), both have Anonymous security access "checked".
If I revert to the old .config files (prior to my modifications for Form Authentication) and remove Anonymous from IIS for both sites, everything works fine (like it did after the installation).
Here are excerpts from the config files I've modified in ReportManager:
RSWebApplication.config:
<UI>
<CustomAuthenticationUI>
<loginUrl>/Pages/UILogon.aspx</loginUrl>
<UseSSL>False</UseSSL>
</CustomAuthenticationUI>
<ReportServerUrl>http://<servername>/ReportServer$SQLSERVER_2005</ReportServerUrl>
</UI>
rsmgrpolicy.config:
<CodeGroup
class="FirstMatchCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Description="This code group grants MyComputer code Execution permission. ">
<IMembershipCondition
class="ZoneMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Zone="MyComputer" />
Web.config:
<identity impersonate="false" />

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!
