Hi all,
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi Experts,
I have a reporting scenario, where the reports are fetched from Analysis Services.
The reports should display data only spcecific to that user.
All users except those in admin roles should be validated using the Windows Authentication ID and data specific to them has to be displayed.
Any pointers/suggestions on how to implement this in Reporting services/ Analysis Services 2005 would be highly appreciated
Thanks,
Hello,
I don't know if this is the correct place, please redirect if it is wrong.
Before i installed sp2 i had this result to a mdx query
Storetype parametervalue parametercaption plevel
null [Store].[Store types].[All stores] All stores 0
Frs [Store].[Store types].[Store type].&[Frs] frs 1
After i installed SP2 the result turned out to be
Frs [Store].[Store types].[Store type].&[Frs] frs 2
Frs [Store].[Store types].[Store type].&[Frs] frs 2
The query is
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Store].[Store types].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION' MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Store].[Store types].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME' MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS '[Store].[Store types].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL' SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , DESCENDANTS([Store].[Store types].[All stores],[Store].[Store types].[Store type],self_and_before) ON ROWS FROM [Store]
WHERE (STRTOMEMBER(@PPContact,CONSTRAINED),STRTOMEMBER(@Store,CONSTRAINED))
Why? How can i make it to behave like before?
Thank you
I am installing a new instance of SQL 2005 including reporting services and have a serious problem. All looks fine from the Reporting Services Configurations system, however, when attempting to browse to http://servername/reports I get an authentication challenge. All forms of credentials are rejected. The server is a Member server in the domain and SQL Server and the reporting services are installed on this server.
Any help would be appreciated as this is holding up the server installation and I have conducted exhaustive searches for a solution.
This problem is also reported in this thread, although, no solutions have been provided for a long time, so I am re-posting:

Regrards,

I am trying to setup cached reports so that one of my larger reports doesn't have to be re-run every time someone wants to view it (the data source only updates every 24 hours).
Anyway I made a new data source, set the report to use that, and in that data source I said to use "SQLexampleUserName" as the stored credentials.
Now when I go to run the report it says: Login failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
This is referenced in the MSKB here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555332
Which makes sense, but now my question is: If I want to used a cached report do I HAVE to allow SQL Server Credentials?
I was using Windows Authentication only up to this point.
I folks.I Have installed sql server 2005 express and choosed windowsauthentication on instalation, but i make a mistake and now i needmixed authentication, how can i modify this whithout uninstall andinstall again the application?thanks for the help.

(Using win2k, sqlserver2k, framework 1.1)
I have an fairly data-heavy application that uses Windows authentication (Trusted connection/aspnet account) to connect to Sql Server. The site uses IIS basic authentication.
On the dev server everything works fine but when I move to the live server things get strange and it starts to crawl along. (Pages load OK but then it just crawls as it loads the datagrids etc. Sometimes it brings back incomplete/incorrect data )
BUT When I use Sql Authentication to connect to Sql Server and there is no problem at all!
Ok, there is something obviously wrong with the live server (which is identical setup to dev)but I dont know where to start.
Any ideas??
Hi all,
I've got two applications which both have a database on my MS SQL 2000 server. The problem is, one application must use Windows Integrated Authentication (which it is currently using and cannot be changed) whilst the other application which I'm trying to configure must use a SQL password.
Since the server has already been configured to use Windows Integrated Authentication for the existing database and application, how do I configure the other database to use the SQL password?
Thanks.
Hi all,
My work is using a shared application
which accesses a MSSQL 2000 database. To access the application, the
folder on the Windows 2003 Server is shared and users can access the
folder through a shared drive.
For the application to access the
database, it uses an ODBC connection to the MSSQL server which
originally used the SA password.
We have recently switched to using
Windows Integrated Authentication because we believe it offers a
higher level of security. However the only way in which we have been
able to enable this is to add the windows users to the SQL server.
The problem with this is that the
application sets permissions for individual users on what records
they can see within the database. We have found that by adding the
windows users to the SQL Server, they can bypass the permissions the
set by the application by simply using any application that can use
an ODBC connection, such as Enterprise Manager, and see all the
database.
One way around this would be to set up
domains of users with access privileges to the tables which reflect
the permissions set by the application, and configuring a view of the
data so they may only see the records that they have permissions to.
However to do this would require a high administrative cost to ensure
that changes made in the application are reflected in the privileges
of the SQL server.
Instead, is there a way the SQL server
can authenticate that the ODBC connection is coming from the correct
application using Windows Integrated Authentication?
This would allow the applcation to
determine security, and stop users from connecting to the SQL server
using other applications.
Alternatively, can the SQL server,
using Windows Integrated Authentication, also ask the application to
supply a username and password?
Any help with this matter would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi,I'm using SQL Server 2005. My Connection String looks like that at the moment: <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=xx;Initial Catalog=xx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xx;Password=xx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Now I'd like to change this kind of authentication to Integrated Windows AuthenticationI added the WorkerProcess IIS_WPG to the permitted Users but it didn't help.Changed the Connection String to this:connectionString="Server=xx;Database=xx;Trusted_Connection=True;"All I'm getting is that my NetworkService is not permitted to access DB when I try to connect to the DB in ASP.NET.How can I properly configure that? Thanks!

Would anyone please help me out here. which of the 2 modes of authentication is better and why??
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
Say, I have configured my SQL to use Mixed Authentication. Now, I have a applicaiton which uses my SQL Server. The application just creates a database in SQL Server and uses the database to store its information.
This application also has a SYSTEM DSN under ODBC through which it accesses the database. For the application to access this database, should I only use SA (as my SQL instance is configured to use Mixed Authentication) or can I use Windows Authentcation too...
If I should only use SA, do we have a documentation which talks about this.
Thanks

For using different services of SQL SERVER 2005 which is better...
Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication?
what are the advantages and disadvantages of both?
1) RS Start in Window Severvices
2) RS Start in Configration
1) and 2) Is Same?
I think that It looks like same Operation.
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?
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report.
I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log
to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend?
How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info.
I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.
Any help is appreciated

Hi,
I need to figure out what kind of Authentication , I need to use for following applicaiton
Product : -
1 ) It resides on a its Domain and has access to Database on that Domain.
2 ) We have a application level login , n based on application login id
display specific pages.
The question that bother me is this
Q ) If i use NT authentication , then a user will be required to
a ) Login to domain (with userid and password) first and then
b ) Then i would require to again login to applicaiton with application
level login and password.(different levels of login as there)
Based on the application level login i will display only specific
asp pages. They have different access rights..and roles.
Requirment is to login only once..and it should authenticate to application display specific pages and authenticate to SQl server database also..
Is there any way thru which i can map my application level login to SQl server.. and what authentication should i use..
Thanks,
Teny
I am in the process of rolling out a sql server 2005 enterprise install and had a question regarding authentication. We will be providing sql hosting for a number of groups on our campus, many who are not using our campus-wide active directory, though they all have an AD account.
Windows authentication via the management studio appears to use your AD authentication tokens and will not allow them to enter a username/password combo. Is there any way to configure this?
I would like to use our campus AD for obvious reasons but if there is a requirement for passing tokens this isn't going to work right? It's also going to make database mirroring more of a challenge.
Thanks
Hi Friends,
Could I migrate the reports which are developed on SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. If Yes then How ...
Could anyone explain me. How it works.
Thanks

My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID.
I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data:
1 - 50
60 - 80
150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Thanks,

Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.
The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi all,
My SQL Server 7.0 is now running in a mixed mode authentication. I understand
that this method of authentication is not safe. So, Ive planned to change my
server's method of authentication from mixed to NT-only mode.
Kindly tell me what are the points I should consider for doing this, so that,
the existing data and the users are not affected.
Cheers and thanx in advance

We recently moved our SQL Server services to a dedicated machine, and things have gone relatively smoothly.
My boss's major concern is that now when he runs some scripts in another application that updates sales data with the newest info from the database, it pops up a login box with the correct information in it already, but they have to hit OK to finish running the script. This was not happening on the old server. I've double-checked the ODBC data sources are correct, and have compared the security for the 2 servers and they appear to be identical still. Has anyone seen this before or knows what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
