passing credentials from asp.net app to RS

Hello All,

I am embedding reports in a Web Application using the ReportViewer control. The Web Application and the ReportServices reside on different machines on the same network. The settings on the ReportServices IIS are Windows Integrated Authentication and anonymous access is disabled.

When I access the reports from my Web Application, I get windows pop-up asking for credentials. I am using impersonation to pass the credentials to the reporting services. But somehow the credentials are not passed to the report server and the pop-up shows up always. I am trying to get rid of the pop-window. Can somebody help??

Does using any other forms of authentication help?

THanks
Imran

How are you displaying the report in your web app? Just a link, or something different? I'm thinking this might be the double hop problem, so you might want to impersonate a service account that's specific for that report.|||I am displaying the report using the reporviewer control.
I am using impersonation in my web app. The same account also exists in the Report server machine. You are right I think it is a double hop problem. But I dont know how to solve it. I think we should use the Soap method to display the reports instead of the URL Access method
Thanks

With the report viewer impersonation settings don't matter - the report viewer sends the client's browser directly to the report server. Is everyone on the domain? Is the client browser setup to login automatically for the zone the report server is in?

What you need is called Pass Through Authentication. Try the links below for more info. Hope this helps.

Pass user credentials RS web service?

I'm using the RS web service to pull back customized reports via a C#
app, which is running under a service account.
I need to pass in the user's credentials to the Render method to make
sure the user has been given access to the report on the Security tab
of the front end.
If I pass the default credentials, the service account's credentials
are used.
Can anyone help? Many thanks.
BurtYou need to create an instance of System.Net.NetworkCredential.
Try:
rs.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(UserName, Password);
instead of:
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

Thanks, but how do I get the current user's password? I'm using windows
authentication on this intranet app.
Burt|||FYI, the solution was:
WindowsImpersonationContext windowsImpersonationContext = null;
WindowsIdentity currentIdentity =(WindowsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity;
windowsImpersonationContext = currentIdentity.Impersonate();
MyService.Credentials =System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
windowsImpersonationContext.Undo();
windowsImpersonationContext = null;
