Re: ReportViewer Control Permission

Thanks Walter.

As usual, help is wofully lacking on SetDataSourceCredentials, but it seems
like that applies to the report's datasource, not the report (server)
itself.

What I need is ReportServerCredentials.
I found this http://forums.asp.net/t/986174.aspx

When running the WAP on my development machine (Win XP IIS5), I can set the
report server to be the one on the shared web host and pass the credentials.
The reports work.
However, when I run the WAP on the shared web host and pass the same
credentials, I get the 401 unauthorized error.

Any ideas as to how to correct this?

Hi AG,

Have you tried ReportViewer.ServerReport.SetDataSourceCredentials:

report.setdatasourcecredentials(VS.80).aspx

You can disable prompting for data source credentials by using
ReportViewer.ShowCredentialPrompts = false. But you will still need to
manually supply the credentials to run the report using
ReportViewer.ServerReport.SetDataSourceCredentials().

Please feel free to let me know if there's anything unclear. Thanks.
