Calling SSRS Report Server it asked “Authentication Required” window

Question

I have just started working in SSRS and I got a very strange problem i.e. When I am calling report server URL i.e. localhost/Reports

This URL requires Authentication

Answer 1

After very long R&D I got a solution. I am using wrong SSRS service URL. I am using localhost/Reports but actually the SSRS Reporting Server URL is localhost/ReportServer. So by using this new Reporting Service URL i got the solution of that problem.

Answer 2

One Time Activity: Once you click on report it will ask again the username and password first time, to overcome this follow below guidelines.

(i) Open Internet Explorer go to Setting click on Internet options

(ii) Go to Security :-> Local Intranet -> Click on Sites

(iii) Click Advanced:

(iv) Add Site: ServerIP Addr (ex.172.16.2.224 or localhost) and then Close.

Answer 3

Click on your report on localhost/Reports then goto property of that report. On right hand side there is 'Data Source' click on that. Then chek the radio button 'Credentials stored securely in the report server', here you need to specify your SQL server credentials i.e. User name and password
