Hello,
I'm analyzing how our company can use security extensions along with the Report Builder. While testing custom security extensions I found that Report Builder is prompting me for the user name/password whenever I launch it from the browser. This is great, but I also need to launch it from the win forms application that already has been authenticated. Can I pass a user name/password as a parameter to the report builder so it does not show login dialog when I launch it from the application?
Thank you,
Leonid.
Hi,
Slightly off topic - we are setting out to do exactly the same thing - a custom security extension to an ADAM instance and with Report Builder access needed as well.
How hard was it to implement the extension? I have been looking here : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152825.aspx. It does not seem so hard, but I am concerned in general about anything new.
Good luck with getting and answer to yoru question.

Configuring is tedious, you should be very careful following all the steps they describe, but other than that - everything works fine. I haven't tried to revert it back, though :)

P.S. In the instructions I skipped the following step because they obiously fixed CreateUserStore.sql script to do detect ASP user name automatically and forgot to update the documentation:
"Locate "LocalMachine" towards the end of the script and replace it with your own computer name. For Windows 2003 users, replace LocalMachine\ASPNET with NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE (except when in IIS 5 compatibility mode). "
|||Custom security should work with report builder - including the new in-model security
Report builder will always prompt for logon credentials even though you may have been already authenticated to the server - it is due to a limitation of the ClickOnce technology that report builder uses.
