I have reviewed/implemented the examples in MSDN, Brian Larson, and T.
Lachev's works for custom security forms authentication for reporting
server(including Lache's Role based structure outlined in the book and DevX
forums).
However, the documentation falls short of configuring the Report Manager for
custom security-forms authentication as well. What procedures would I need to
complete to remove the Windows authentication requirement from the Report
Manager and replace with forms authentication. Specifically, I want to add a
html redirect page to take to "My App" that handles Single Sign on calls(to
LDAP) which will also call the logon user methods from SSRS to establish the
necessary SSRS cookies and allow us to link to the /Reports/Pages/Folder to
access the report manager from within the application.
Specifically: I need sample settings for each of these Report Manager
configuration files
1) Web.Config
2) RSWebApplication.Config
3) rsmgrpolicy.config
Also what location would I have to store the appropriate redirect page and
what path setting do I need to apply to any of the above files to make this
work.
Thanks for any help you can provide.Answered here:
http://www.sqltalk.org/ftopic9114.html&highlight=forms+authentication
Bottom line was web.config for the report manager has to have
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
<identity impersonate="false"/>
And your RSWebapplication.config
should have <loginUrl>/Home.aspx</loginUrl>
Note that your IIS default content will have your redirect page which you
save in your report manager directory and not the home.aspx.
