I can't seem to get this to work and have to resort to a custom connection for each report in Server Manager. The problem with that is that I have to re-do it every time I re-deploy the reports. Is there a secret to this that I have not found yet?

I'm trying to use stored credentials to enable caching. I've created a special windows user account with minimum permissions for just this task, and once set up, it works great (almost).
I can update the shared data source using SQL Mgt Studio or directly via the Report Manager to use a set of -windows- stored credentials. But I don't seem to be able to do the same via VS.NET 2005. I can only store -SQL- credentials, which I have no need to enable and no desire to add to my surface area.
The problem lies that every time I deploy any report that using that data source (which is nearly all of them), the data source is re-published, which wipes out the stored credentials and caching immediately stops.
I've tried messing with the XML directly, with no luck, and changing assorted advanced settings, but nothing seems to stick.
Obviously I can manually update the credentials each time I deploy something, but surely it seems that there must be a better way. Is there a way to either set the DS to use stored windows credentials, or just plain prevent the deployment of the DS every time a dependent report is published?
Suggestions?

I'm using SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services.
I'm trying to create a subscription to automatically generate a report daily and put a resulting pdf into a folder on the drive. Users will then receive an email notification with a link to the report so they can just click on it and see the report.
When creating the subscription, I am prompted for a set of "credentials used to access the file share" (user name and password). But I don't want my users to have to supply any credentials, I just want them to click on the link and get the report. Is there a way to disable the requirement for the credentials?
Thank you.
Hello All,
I have a situation and no idea what is going wrong.
We have many reports stored and view from the report manager. many of these reports internally use a datasource which is shared among others.
Many a times we have realised that the report stops working with the error.
Reporting Services Error
The current action cannot be completed because the user data source credentials that are required to execute this report are not stored in the report server database. (rsInvalidDataSourceCredentialSetting) Get Online Help

All i have to again do is update the user credentials and it starts working again. but nobody explicitly remove the credentials also. i dont know if it a tools bug or some where i am making a mistake in deploying. i deploy the reports through visual Studio.
Any idea?

Hi all,
When I create a new report subscription in report manager, I got this error
Credentials used to run this report are not stored
any idea?

I created a report in SSRS, and deployed it. I have created security where when users run the on demand report, it will prompt them for a username and password. I went to the properties of the report then Execution, and tried to set up report execution snapshot and got an error 'Credentials used to run this report are not stored.' I get the same error if I go to History and try to select any of the options there.
View 11 Replies View RelatedFor credentials, I have a Shared Data Source that "uses a specific user name and password".
When I open the data source's RDS file, I observed that the credentials are not stored in the RDS file.
Where are the credentials for the data sources stored?
It has to be stored somewhere. When I close and reopen the solution, the credentials for the data source are still intact.
I have a database script that uses the extended stored procedures sp_OACreate and sp_OCMethod to execute an .exe file. The .exe file is located on the same machine as the SQL Server. At this time it does nothing but log the name of the user calling it.
When I execute the script from Management Studio (logged in as myself) the user being logged as the caller of the .exe is still NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. I don't know why NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM is the caller, cause the SQL Server service runs under another domain account.
I have tried playing around with EXECUTE AS USER but no matter what, the caller of the .exe is always logged as NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM.
Are there any way I can pass my credentials to the executable that I am calling from the T-SQL script?
I am getting the standard "Subscriptions cannot be created because the credentials used to run the report are not stored -".I tried to store them in the Stored Data Source in the Visual Studio Project and then deployed. I cannot find in any documentation a reference where to go to STORE CREDENTIALS for a Report Server subscription. I would really appreciate any help on this. I did look at the existing threads, but they don't specifically address where to create the credentials. Thanks for any help you can provide.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am have a few reports built in Report Builder and obviously using Report Models. All these report models are using a share data source. When I try enable to enable chache or creating subscription I get and error that "Credentials used not stored".
I thought well let me store the credentials for the data source used by the model used by the report on the server. I still get the same error.
I tried to create a custom data source for the report but there is not option for connection string to connect to Report Server Model. We have "Microsoft SQL SEVER", "OLE DB", "Microsoft SQL Analysis Services", "ORACLE", "ODBC", "XML", "SQP Netweaver BI" and "Hyperion Essabe"
if I understand this right to create cache or subscription I must store the credentials for each report making shared Data source concept redundant. Also I cannot create a connection string to connect to Report Server Model.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can tell me how to enable cache or subscriptions for report that are built on report models using shared data source.

Greetings,
We periodically get the following message in our three server peer-to-peer transactional replication environment:
"One or more subscriptions have been marked inactive. Drop and re-create all subscriptions for this node that are failing with this error."
What causes a subscription to be marked inactive? What properties or settings can be adjusted to minimize or eliminate this occurrence?
Everthing seems to be running OK and then we get the message. It afflicts the higest change volume publication on our slowest overseas server.

I doubt this is possible, but can someone think of a way to change the email address used for sending report subscriptions based on the report or subscription?
It's a need that I've heard from a number of different clients. Scenario: a company has one reporting services server with reports running from numerous departments. Report subscriptions are sent to internal and external email addresses and there's a business need to use different "from" addresses based on the report (or audience).
Hi,
We have two databases right now that house miscellaneous small applications. We have them in place so developers can develop small applications in them without going through the database request process and bother the DBAs. This was set up before I got here - so I wasn't involved in the decision to do such a thing. The obvious drawback to this is that a restore would wipe out data for multiple applications. As we move to a new 2005 server we are re-evaluating our methods and would like some input on this - and some other aspects.
I know that we could use filegroups and put objects related to certain applications within them so restore is independent of other apps. Each application has its own user which is granted execute on it's stored procedures.
Are we missing anything here? I'm almost tempted to try to get separate databases created to uncomplicate it. If a developer can spend hours working on an app, they can spend 10 minutes on a form and wait 30 for us to create it.
Another thing I've noticed it that it can take quite a while to grant permissions to many stored procedures to a user in 2005. In 2000 there was a grid and you could arrow down and hit space, granting execute. You could also use code to do this, be we never really needed to since developers granted as they went and we would script the object and check the 'script obect level permissions' checkbox. This has since disappeared and granting execute is another step for us.
What do you think of 'sub schemas' for each role in the application - which is usually 'User' and 'Admin'? So we would have MylittleApp_User.ProcedureName and MylittleApp_Admin.ProcedureName with execute granted on the schema for each application user. Tables would be placed in MylittleApp schema.
In the past developers simply prefix their procedure with the application name to denote what application it belongs to.
Thanks for your advice on this - we don't want to get headed down the wrong path.
I've successfully carried out pull subscription using Wizard in SQL server 2000.
But NOW its the time to deploy the project & I've to do it programatically........
i tried to use the default stored procedures like "sp_addmergepullsubscription ", "sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent ", "sp_reinitmergepullsubscription ", with respective parameters.
Then using replmerge.exe i tried to execute the batch file But could not succeed......
Can anyone guide me from the Basics ??? (i knw the Replication Architecture its heirarchy....but have NO idea of performing it Programatically......!!!!!!!!)
by BASICS, i mean......how should i execute the resp. stored procedures with what parametes & the order i should follow in order to successfully pull a merge subscription in SQL server 2000.
if a Sample code is mentioned as example, would be better for me to understand....
Thanking all of you in anticipation...........

Does anybody know where SSIS Data Connections are stored? Whenever one creates a Connection Manager, a list of all created Data Connections appears. It's very quick and easy to create a Connection Manager from an existing Data Connection, so really the latter are in essence the Connection Managers and are thus part of the application. It is therefore important to back them up if for example one wants to migrate the application to another computer. I have looked everywhere in Documents and Settings and Program Files and I can't find any folder or file where these Data Connections are stored! It's annoying to have this mysterious black-box behaviour!
Does anybody know?

Hello:
I am working with an application unde mssql 6.5 ,sp4. We have a separate
database for reporting on a different box. Each night we load a backup into
the database from the production database.
I set up a stored procedure to kill all users connected to this reporting
database just before the load.
THe job looks like this under scheduled tasks as a cmdexec:
isql -U sa -P -d master -Q"exec killusersall_sp 7" -o
F:MSSQLatchjobs
evdb.log
This job died with the following message:
Process Exit Code 1. ...[-b On error batch abort] [-O use Old ISQL
behavior disables the following]<EOF> batch processingAuto console width
scalingWide messagesdefault errorlevel is -1 vs 1 [-? show syntax summary
(this screen)]
The killusersall is paramaterize sp that I pass the dbid of the database
for whom I want all users killed. I need to put the stored procedure in the
master because I egt the spid from sysprocesses.
I do not understand why the job died. Does it matter if I named the stored
procedure as sp_killusersall instead of killusersall_sp which I used.
Can any one advise me about how to get the job to run? Any assistance will
be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

Hi
I've implemented an SQL-CLR stored procedure which makes an HTTP connection using the WebClient class to a server where the processing on the web server takes 10 seconds.
If I fire off a bunch of requests to the stored procedure, e.g. 80 in 1 second I noticed that SQL Server 2005 (Express Edition) only allows 2 concurrent network connections at a time.
I can confirm this by looking at the timing of the results when they come back, basically I get 2 results every 10 seconds and by doing a 'netstat -a' on the web server I notice that there are never more than 2 HTTP connections from the SQL Server at a time.
Is this some sort of sheduling policy in terms of the number of concurrent external network accesses allowed by CLR objects running in SQL Server? Or some side effect of the way the WebClient class blocks in terms of waiting for a network response?
I was expecting all 80 of the requests to block waiting on a network response almost immediately and then for all 80 of them to pretty much complete and return 10-11 seconds later.
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static int CreditAuthorisation(string Name, decimal Amount)

WebClient client = new WebClient();
string result = client.DownloadString("http://someserver/Test.aspx");

}

Hi there,

Hello....
I have a stored procedure which needs to access the files on a remote server... a server which does not belong to the same domain as the SQL Server 2005 machine.
I have an account which has access to the remote server. If the account name is "NewAccountAccountName", how can I execute the stored procedure using that account? Is this possible?
Thanks,

Hi
Does anyone know the correct syntax to run a xp_cmdshell command using different sql server credentials?
Thanks
On to the next understanding topic. I understand the concept of credentials and why they are needed with the isolation of machine admin authority and running a SQL Server instance. I had a question on the purpose of the system credentials.
##MS_SQLResourceSigningCertificate## is the credential utilized by the instance itself to gain access to Windows for such things as reading and writing to database files, network stacks, writing to the error logs/event logs, etc. ##MS_AgentSigningCertificate## is the credential that is used by SQL Server Agent for accessing any necessary Windows resources.
##MS_SQLReplicationSigningCertificate## is used only by the replication engine to allow it to access Windows resources.
##MS_SQLAuthenticatorCertificate## is used during the authentication process for SQL Logins to provide authenticator services and is also used to access the Windows security API.
Each of the credentials is a certificate which is loaded into the instance and you can find the corresponding certificate within the data folder for the instance. I'm assuming that a mechanism is already in place to prevent someone from mucking with the certificates on the OS to gain access back into the SQL Server by comparing the signature already stored within the instance with the signature of the certificate on the OS. (This is also part of the larger discussion of certificate use within SQL Server itself and explains why you can't change the service account/password using the Service Control Applet.)
Did I get that correct, am I way off base, or is this one of those "no comment" items?
I'm trying to create a login screen that will verify a user's username and password from within a SQL table. If the credentials are found in the table, they should be sent to a Main Menu screen. If the credentials are not found, I will throw a message on the screen. Does anyone have code to accomplish this? I am at a total standstill.
Thanks,

Hi,
because my package does not run with SQL-Server-Agent, but without problems if started by "hand", I created a new credential which contains the information needed for the package. I did this as described on: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190703.aspx .
After that i tried to create an proxy account, but when I chose the created credential, Management Studio says "Der Proxy "[name_of_credential] ist kein gültiger Windows-Benutzer(Microsoft SQL Server, Fehler: 14529)". This means something like: "This Proxy is not a valid windows-user. Error: 14529".
Any hints how to use a credential that is not a windows-user?

I'd like to programme the execution of a report through the execution property option. However, when I try to do it a message error appears related to credentials of the datasource.

Hi everyone....
I have made a CLR stored procedure which goes to a shared folder on a remote computer. I am having permission problems when executing the stored procedure. (In case anyone is wondering, I am using the .NET SYSTEM.IO class)
I have done the following:
CREATE CREDENTIAL myuser
WITH IDENTITY = 'mydomainmyuser', SECRET = 'some56*Z';
CREATE LOGIN sam WITH PASSWORD = 'meowPw!a3';
ALTER LOGIN sam WITH CREDENTIAL = myuser;
...(other SQL so that SAM can execute the SP)
Now, I login to SQL Server using the new login, and when I try to execute the CLR stored procedure, I get "unknown username or bad password.".
I know 100% for sure that the account in the "MYUSER" credential has access. Is there something else I need to do?
