Question

I deployed reports on test server.i am using ssrs 2008 r2. testers and developers are on same domain called 'ASDF' and testreport server is on 'HIJL' domain. when I try to access ' htt://testservername/reports ' from my dev or test machine it is asking for credentials If i put my windows login ,this isn't accepted.but if i enter HIJL\admin and password it accepts and showing reports.

I try to give permissions for 'ASDF' users but i am getting 'rsUnknownUserName' message.

Answer 1

You configure a windows user account and give that account authorization to specific resources.

1. Create a standard windows user on the SSRS server.

2. Open SSRS and select "site settings".

3. Select the "Security Tab"

4. Give the windows account specified in step 1 access by tying in the account name and selecting the roles to grant.

5. Navigate to the SSRS home screen and select the "Folder Settings" tab.

6. Select the "New Role Assignment Tab" on the security page of "Folder Settings" and add the user(s) you specified in step 4. NOTE: This will give ReportUser access to all reports deployed.

This should give you easy access to deploy and access reports in a test environment.

Answer 2

Can a trust be set up between the domains so that the ASDF users may be authenticated on the HIJL domain?

If not, like lrb said, your options then become anonymous access, or a custom security implementation.
