Question

Answer 1

If you just want to by pass the login prompt, you can modify the 'TargetServerURL' as it includes 'reportserver'. (It is like suffixing Controller with controller name in MVC)

Environment: Visual Studio 2008, Sql Server 2008

For me, it prompted when I set the 'TargetServerURL' to localhost/finreport. As mentioned in the below article, changing the 'TargetServerURL' to localhost/reportserver bypassed the login prompt.
