Passing Authentication From PHP To Reporting Services
Nov 1, 2005
Hello,
My boss wants me to create a front end webpage for our Reporting
Services reports that customers can log onto through a webform. I'm a
PHP programmer, so I'd rather do this site and the authentication in
PHP than learn .NET. The main problem I see is finding a way to pass
the authentication to Reporting Services so that when a user runs a
report, they are not asked to enter their password a second time.
I don't even know where to start researching this problem... I've asked
in PHP forums and they passed me to you guys. Any ideas?
For a connection string,we just use sqlconnection class in c# and try to do the open opration to test whether the connection string is valid or not.
but for reporting servics,when given a username and a password ,how can we do the authentication in c#program to see the account is valid or invalid...
Hi, I€™ve an application Web which uses to reportviewer to show information. I want that all the users of the application accede to reports by means of he himself user and password. This user is a local user of report€™s server. The problem is that when attempt to show report always appear the following error: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. The code that use is the following one:
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = new ReportViewerCredentials("Usuario", "pwd", "servidor");

I am using Reporting services 2005 and have enabled forms authentication using the example found in: 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesReporting ServicesExtension SamplesFormsAuthentication Sample' This works correctly without SSL, but when I enable SSL I get an error when logging in. The symptoms are as follows. I can login to the reporting server (in my case <server>/ReportServer2) directory, but when I login to the report manager (in my case at <server>/Reports2) I get the following error: 'The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.' Can anyone suggest why I might be getting this error?
I am new to Reporting Services. I want to use Reporting Services 2005 in our application.
My custom web application is on one machine and Reporting Services 2005 is on other machine. I am using Forms Authentication and using Single Sign On for login
If my custom web application and Reporting Services are on same machin I can get "Authentication Ticket" issued by ReportingServices2005 to the Report server.
But in this case I am not able to get "Authentication Ticket" on Report Server since it is on other machine.
I am using ReportViewer control in my web application to display Reports and using LogonUser method to get the Authentication Ticket.
How can I pass CookieAuthentication ticket from my Custom Web Application to Report Server?
Is there any work around to pass Authentication Cookie across Domain or any other solution for this?
I am creating a drill through that will go out and find the correctreport out of 27 that equal my 2 parameters NAME_ID and DETAIL_ID.Does anyone out there have any ideas for me? I can make it conect to 1report. I do not know how to make it search for the correct report
I've seen questions similar to this posted, but I'm unable to find a clear answer to what I need to do.
We are currently using Crystal Reports, generating a dataset in our application and passing it to Crystal. Due to the many problems we have with Crystal we are now looking to move to Reporting Services 2005, but I can't find out how to pass it a dataset.
Although we do use SQL Server for data storage, we have many reports with calculations that are way too complicated to use calculated fields, and which change too often to want to store them in the database. One solution might be to store the data temporarily and regenerate it each time it's required, but this doesn't seem very elegant. So please could someone tell me if there is a way to do what I'm after and point me at a page that gives a nice clear explanation.
I am trying to run the report by passing the parameters using url.
[URL]
I get the error when I add the "Year" parameter in the above url, after adding this I get error "The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash. (rsInvalidItemPath)
Hi all. I can pass parameters from my front end(C#.net) to my reports(in Business Intelligence Project). I want the reverse of it. I want to pass parameter from my report to my windows application project.
I have an asp.net app that is calling a reporting service url. on that url I pass two parameters as query strings. In the Report I defined the query string parameters in the Report Parameters. I then want these two parameters to be passed to the stored procedure in the report. How can I make this happen? The parameters seem to get to the Report but I can't seem to get them mapped to the stored proc. In the data set I defined the stored procs parameters and mapped them to the corresponding Report Parameters but still no go.
I'm assuming there's something fundamental I'm missing here about passing parameters to reporting services.
I setup CRM 4.0 in one domain with a domain service account. SQL Reporting is located on the same machine using the same service account. SQL is on a different machine. These are in the same single domain forest which has a two way trust relation with another domain of a separate single domain forest. Both domains are W2k3 Native Mode.
The CRM application allows access to users in both domains. The reports are generated with accounts in the first domain where CRM and SQL Reports is located but not for users in the other domain. The CRM's report viewer window displays "The report cannot be displayed."
The following are events that are related to the error: On CRM server: Event Type: Warning Event Source: ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0 Event Category: Web Event Event ID: 1309 Date: 5/13/2008 Time: 6:55:19 AM User: N/A Computer: CRMSERVER Description: Event code: 3005 Event message: An unhandled exception has occurred.

The take away from the events is either the SQL Reporting or CRM is attempting to access the SQL service with the Anonymous account. I expect it's SQL reporting because the CRM application is not having problems letting in the other domain users. The problem occurs only on reports.
I tried the following: 1. Applied the steps in the CRM Planning Guide for "Taks for a native mode domain with users in a mixed-mode domain." This adds the other domain users to a domain local group. Then assigns Browser access to the SQL reports and SQL database access to the group. 2. Set the CRM server to be trusted for delegation (kerberos only) 3. Created SPNs for http/crmserver domaincrmservice and http/crmserver:5555 domaincrmservice and http/crmserver.domain.local domaincrmservice and http/crmserver.domain.local:5555 domaincrmservice
This is a subject that has been brought up before but I have not seen a definitive answer/solution. We have implemented a custom authentication extension (forms authentication) for reporting services and it has been working just fine under "normal" conditions; "normal" being users logging in, viewing reports, and then moving on. Recently some reports were created by our report group and they contain Dundas gauge controls for "dashboard" style reports. These reports are meant to be up all day and they post back every few seconds because the data they present is mission critical. This of course exposed the inability of the reportviewer control to stay in the context of Report Manager when it comes to the cookie exchange and authentication thus resulting in the following error: <html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body> <h2>Object moved to <a href="/ReportServer/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2freportserver%2fReportExecution2005.asmx">here</a>.</h2> </body></html>
I created a quick ASP.NET web application and added the reportviewer to it, implemented IReportServerCredentials and the report came up as expected but behaved the same way as it did in Report Manager. Same with a Windows Forms application.
Increasing the cookie timeout in the forms authentication tag is an option, but not an attractive one. Extending the reportviewer control is also an option, but I don't know if that is a good candidate right now because I don't see anything extensible yet.
Is this just the nature of RS with custom authentication or is there a viable solution out there right now?
Any and all answers are much appreciated and I thank you in advance.
I have a report that I'm trying to automate. Basically I want to create a cursor of containing authors, I want to run my report for that particular author, save the report, and move to the next author in the cursor. I want to continue this process until there's no more authors left in the table. Is this possible with reporting services 2005? If so how do I communicate the value from my cursor, to my report?
 Lob parameter is in the same dataset , But Year parameter is from different Dataset(Year_Param_DS).But If I am passing second parameter (Year) like Sum(Fields!Year_list.Value, "Year_Param_DS") i am not able to open the popup.
If i am removing the sum word Main report is giving an error that "Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified dataset scope."e syntax (I am working using MDX query) to pass two parameter through url, one from same dataset and 2nd is from another dataset.Or it is not possible to pass the value field from other Dataset in URL (Go to URL option).
Member [Measures].[Measure3] As [Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts] Member [Measures].[Measure4] As (([Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]*-1)/[Measures].[Value Rent Period Debit])
There are two parameters; the value of lag passed to the LastPeriods function, and tenancy types passed in the where clause
I have a third parameter I would like to use called FirstDate and this I would like to pass to the LastPeriods function as the second argument
FirstDate is a value from my Time dimension, something like [Time].[Fiscal Time].[Sep. 15]
When editing the query to: -
Member [Measures].[Measure3] As [Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts] Member [Measures].[Measure4] As (([Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]*-1)/[Measures].[Value Rent Period Debit]) Select {[Measures].[Measure1] ,[Measures].[Measure2]
[Code] ....
The code errors. I have tried all sorts of formats such as  LastPeriods(@LagMonths,[@FirstDate]) and LastPeriods(@LagMonths,[Time].[Fiscal Time].[@FirstDate]), but nothing works
I have a Report that I want to access that has a parameter input for the date, Production_Date. I want to allow the user to use the DateTimePicker to select the date to use for Production_Date. I can't seem to find the correct way to format what I'm tring to do. My production date field is in a format without punctuation so that it becomes:
which gives me a value that I want to send as a parameter for the Reporting Services report that I have located on a tab in my project. The report is:
Me.ReportViewer1
I want to send the ProductionDate to the report where the report looks for Production_Date. Obviously, I 'm very new to this. I'd appreciate any suggestions. As it runs now, the default date is loaded (today's date) from the expression I calculated in Reporting services:
=(Now.Month*1000000)+(Now.Day*10000)+Now.Year
This is a big roadblock right now and I can't seem to put together a legal means to pass this value. Thanks for any help.
Hi all, I am using forms authetication to log in to reporting services. I am using logonuser method of reporting services web service. I am getting the following error when i try to log in

I have LocalMachine/ASPNET web service identity set in Reporting Services Configuration on Windows XP .
Is it possible to pass a report parameter that is defined as a string to the following SQL statement that is using an "IN" clause ?
WHERE (ANALYST.User_Bemsid IN (@Report_Parameter_Bemsid))
If I pass a single value (I.E. A) it works okay, but once I try to pass multiple values (I.E. A,B or 'A','B') it returns no data.
Using Crystal reports I can pass multiple values via a report prompt into the SQL "IN" clause and seems that SQL Reporting Services should also have this feature. What do I need to do to get it working ?
I have a 2 reports A and B.A is a dashboard with graphical objects like graphs and pie charts.B is a simple table with the base data used in A (see it as the factual table data)I would like to click on any of the objects on A and pass them into B BUT I don't want to use extra parameters on B.Is it possible somehow to pass the valued from A to B using action and then use this as filters of the table in B instead of forcing me to create parameters in B?
I am using 2 charts in my SSRS Report. Requirement is to load the Right side chart based on the click event from left chart.
I can achieve it using go to report option. But the issue is total page getting refreshed while using this option. I feel bookmark option will be the best. But I don't think I can pass a value to Bookmarks.
I have a report. I need to make a drop-down parameter optional. I've setup the parameter to use a dataset as its source, and I need to allow the value to be null. I've selected allow nulls check box, and I've even tried setting the default value to System.DBNull.Value. But, when the entry is not selected (blank), no data ever comes back. If the data is blank or null, my procedure works (I've tested it). How do I send a null value to the database through reporting services report? I was hoping to avoid creating a special query just for that purpose.
Below are screenshots from my report                  When a user clicks on a amount it should pass the sales regions , so that the a new detailed report opens up. Sales regions are passed when the report is in expanded view like on the right. But when its collapsed it just passes only the top most value and not all the sales region to the detailed report.
I've set this value as parameter to the detailed reportÂ
=Fields!SalesRegion.Value
How do I change this so that all the sales regions from the selected row group are passed when collapsed? I've uploaded the image in case the page does not show up.
I'm trying to rertieve specific RS 2005 report by passing WebApp control value (this.VCtrlNo.Text) to "CV Report" - name of my report with the following scripts.
1) No Action - when clicked. AutoPostBack is set and properly initialized.
2) This just opened the default page instead of specific report. <a href="http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports+Folder%2fCV+Report&rc=Render&vctrlno=10-0000037", target="_blank">Open CV Report </a>
Where "Reports" is the reportmanager, vctrlno is the parameter name (properly set) and obviously I want to open a new page.
I would be very thankful to anyone who can lead to make this work.
Well, I have SQL Server 2005 SP2 Reporting Services installed and configured in sharepoint integrated mode, so I am deploying reports in sharepoint libraries. Also I configured sharepoint to use forms authentication with builtin AspNetSqlMembership provider, but after this action I couldnot open reports through sharepoint library, instead of this, error was displayed mentioned below. I searched and found hotfix Cumulative Update 3 build 3186 for this issue, request it from microsoft support and applied it, but nothing has changed!
Error I have been experiencing is following:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> The request failed with the error message: -- <html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body> <h2>Object moved to <a href="/_layouts/login.aspx?ReturnUrl= %2f_vti_bin %2fReportServer%2fReportService2006.asmx">here</a>.</h2> </body></html>
I continued to dig and find out that this hotfix should update Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts.dll from version 9.0.3042.0 to new version 9.0.3180.0, but when I checked file version after applying hotfix, it remained the same as was before i.e. 9.0.3042.0. Apparently this cumulative update does not fix this issue. anyone has any idea how to solve it? Thanks in advance.
I have two reports 'Product Details' and 'Sales by Product'

I am using this custom data extension from BI Studio.
Que1: I want to create report parameters from BI studio and capture them in my Data Extension.
Que2: Every report parameter has so many properties, like hidden, internal, default value etc, how do capture that information in my data extension, the parameters only give me name and value.
Que3: I know I can capture command Text. So My command can be Select * From tablename where fieldname= @myFieldname. Once I get this commandText in my data extension, How do extract parameters of the command?
Que4: If I have any custom attributes in my RDL file, Can I capture them in my Data Extension ?
I have a report that prompts the user to select a parameter, for simplicity, let's say the parameter is for color choice, options are Red, Yellow, Blue or *. The * is for include all colors. I am passing that parameter back to the dataset query which, again for simplicity is
For a specific color this works fine, for the "*" selection it returns a null. It would seem that I need to convert the * to % but I am not sure how.....
I have cascading parameters in 'Main Report'. When i try to pass cascading parameters in to sub-report, I could pass only 'first parameter' value to sub-report.Is there a way that i can pass cascading parameters to the child report?
