reporting for report purpose ,but report server works on windows
authentication ,due to which dialog box is popping up,i need to know a way of
integratinf the two to have a single sign on Process?Rags,
You have two options:
1. Generating the report on the server side of the application by using the
Render SOAP API. The advantage of this approach is that it is more secure
since the user doesn't see the report URL (everything takes place on the
server). The tradeoff is that the interactive features (drilldown,
drillthrough, etc.) will not work with SOAP since their require direct
access to the Report Server by URL. If you decide to take this approach, you
can pass the web app identity to the Report Server and grant a minimum set
of permissions in RS to this account.
2. Replace the RS Windows security with Forms Authentication by writing a
custom security extension. This will allow you to incorporate interactive
features in your reports. In this scenario, the reports will be requested on
the client side of the application (e.g. by using the Report Viewer sample
control). If you decide to take this approach check out the sample security
extension from MS at
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/ufairs.a
sp?frame=true#ufairs_topic3).
So, you have to carefully weight out your requirements for security,
reporting features and your application architecture to determine the best
integration scenario.
