Accessing Reports Once Deployed?

I have created several reports in SRS and I deploy them by establishing a VPN connection than deploying. That much works fine.

Now I want to allow user of my website to access the reports by clicking on a link. Do I need to establish user level access for the reports for each user or just one public access account? How do I pass login and credential information with the link so that users can access the report.

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

Reporting Services uses AD out of the box. You can add individual user accounts or groups to the Report Manager as browsers or content managers.

If you are using SOAP access you can pass the credentials in from code, otherwise they'll have to type their info in.

If you want to use forms based or custom security, it is a bit complex but can be done.

Here's a link to more info.
