Here are the steps of scenario:
1. After logging in on Login page https: //myComputerName, the user will be redirected to the following Report web form application (C#).
2. click [ Review Report ] button, it will prompt the User a Login Window to access Report Viewer through a URL.
3. Then, it will prompt a User Login Window. ( How to prevent the Login Window from prompting? )
After entering the valid Username and password which are created on the Report Manager ( Report Server ),
then the requested report will be displayed.
The Login window only prompts for the first time access to Report Viewer as long as the browser is open.
Everything is configured and developed on my PC including:
1. IIS Manager ( version 7.5 )
2. Windows 7 Professional
3. Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web
( to build the Report web form application along with the URL to Report Viewer )
4. SQL Server 2012 - MS SQL Server Management Studio ( Express version )
5. SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Configuration Manager
- The .net (C#) website is developed on my PC.
- In IIS, https:// binding is enabled by a Self-Signed Certificate.
- The SSRS Report is developed using Visual Studio 2010 Shell ( Express Version ), no Report Viewer control on it.
I do not want to use Report Viewer control on Report Definition file (.rdl) because the report style/format only looks right with I.E browser.
Also, I do not want to change I.E Security option by adding the report website link to Local Intranet because it's limited to I.E. browser only.
Users are not internal users, and they should be free to use different browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc.
I don't know where to fix the problem, should it be:
1. Report Server's .config file which is on my PC.
or 2. web.config ( The one for .net application or the one for Report Server )
or 3. IIS 7.5
or 4. Report Manager
or what else?
Please write me back with simple and straight solution to avoid prompting user a Login Window.
Thank you so much.
