Custom Security Extensions for SQL RS 2005

Hi,

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to set up a custom security extension with Reporting Services 2005. Following the VB example from McGraw Hill Osborne (http://www.mhprofessional.com/product.php?cat=112&isbn=0072262397&cat=112), I've compiled the .dll for the extension and made the changes to the ReportManager and ReportServer .config files. After I reset IIS and return to the RS website, it displays "The report server has encountered a configuration error..." and I get a message in my System Event log:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{BA126AD1-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}
to the user MYMACHINE\ASPNET SID (S-1-5-21-1708537768-839522115-1343024091-1005). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Wondering if anyone else has had similar trouble and how did they get around it?

Have you modified the RSSrvPolicy.config ?

Here is a guide I followed to successfully implement custom authentication in RS.

Look at the section "To modify the RSSrvPolicy.config file"

Here are the changes I made to .config files before running Reporting Services and getting these errors:

Under the ReportManager directory:

rsmgrpolicy.config - MyComputer code group permission from Execution to FullTrust

rsWebApplication.config - modified <UI> entry, added redirection to login page + URL

Web.config - identify impersonate -> "false"

Under the ReportServer dierctory:

RSReportServer.config - Added <Extension> elements with Name ="Forms" inside both <Security> and <Authentication>

rssvrpolicy.config - added new <CodeGroup> block just under CodeGroup with "$CodeGen$" string

web.config - identify impersonate -> "false"
