Please help everytime i call http://servername/reportserver it is presenting the login screen, if i enter the username and password then i can access the reportserver screen, same with reportmanager tool.

under iis manager for the reportserver virtual directory i have given anonymous login access.

The report Manager uses Windows Auth for credentials.

By Default (and settings for normal use) Under IIS:

Enable anonymous access should not be checked

Integrated Windows authentication should be checked

This should allow you to access the report manager or reportserver without re-entering your credentials.

If this does not work please post more details.

Are you trying to expose this site over the internet or is this simply intraNet

Why do you want to enable anonymous

Bret, Thks. you are right.

This is an internet site, i want to give access to reports to the users of my application.,

I installed this on a dedicated server and i check, the anonymous access is not check, just the integrated windows authentication is checked.

Still when i call the link:

http://www.mydomain.com/reportserver

it is asking me again for the username and password, the same is happening for reports(report manager) too.

Please help, i have an application to host next week.

Thanks a lot for the information.

I believe this is normail IE behavior.

By default it does automatic logon only for Intranet sites.

Reddymade-

Do your users currently need to log into your web application If yes, then you really should set up custom authentication using forms authentication for report server as found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/ufairs.asp frame=true. If no, you should still make that piece of your web app via authentication.

If you enable anonymous access to your report server for one site, you've enabled it for all sites because they all use the ASPNET account (which is the anonymous user). The sample is easy to set up and integrate with .Net web apps.

Please post any questions back here.

Hi,

I have almost the same problem but just with few users (2 over more than 100). Security is managed through local groups, but for those few users, even if their group has full access on a report folder, the athentification windows always appears when they try to access the report server. At the end, clicking on "Cancel" several times, allows them to access the reports .... any idea

 

regards

I am assuming that this server is going to host an intranet SRS. Also that you set it to windows integrated in IIS and will be kept that way. Also if you are seeing this problem, you most probably are on Windows Server 2003 sp1 OS. Once you key in the credentials you must be able to view the reports. Check if http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887993 works for you.
