IIS Web servers / SSL / Single Sign-On

Hi,

we have three servers (one with an dedicated Active Directory, one with Windows Sharepoint Services + SQL 2005 and the last with Reporting Services). The Windows Sharepoint Services is published on the Internet with the URL https://portal.customer.org (the certifiate used comes from a root authority installed on the dedicated domain controller). The homepage on the Windows Sharepoint Services is composed of several webpart and especially the reporting services webpart. As this webpart is displayed through an IFRAME, we had to publish the reporting services web server on the internet too (so we have https://bi.customer.org). The result is not very good as when a customer is accessing the Windows Sharepoint Services, he has to authentificate two times (one time for the https://portal.customer.org and another time for getting access to https://bi.customer.org). We added both sites on the trusted sites zone but he has no effect. Of course, we didn't had this problem when reporting services was installed with Windows Sharepoint Services on the same server (as /Reports and /ReportServer was accessed by https://portal.customer.org). However, we had to split the services on two separate servers because we had some performances during the cubes processing.

Is there a solution to bypass the second authentication request ? As we are authenticated on the first server (https://portal.customer.org, why the information is not returned to the second server (https://bi.customer.org) as both servers are using the same Active Directory ? Is this because we are using SSL (this could be a security feature to block the "automatic login with current username and password" option in Internet Explorer when browsing SSL web sites).

Very thanks for your answers.

Thierry
