Role-Based Security In SQL Server Reporting Services

Hi
I have created Reports,
Now I need to assign Role-Based Security, ie like some particular clients can access only some particular report.
http://localhost/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Here in the above link i can see the property tool bar where i need to set the user assignement roles.
could any one please help me out how to set different login assigned to a set of report.
Or is there any tutor links for this.
Thanks a lot.
Shan

Create folders under the Home page (the link you have there). For each folder set group athentication (AD) or harder managed, user account roles for the folders and the reports under the folder.
If you set security at that home level you will not be able to control what reports they see or can't see. You'll need to go all the way to the folder/report level.
It's also not best practice to deploy reports directly to the home level. Not best practice in it creating a very hard to manage security level. Think of the levels in security as such to SQL Server. Set the connect to sql level, database level and then down to the objects in them. Same priciples apply to SSRS.
Here is a cast going through some security settings as well http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/dd391734.aspx fro creating your roles and utilizing them

How to change Rendering Extension in sql server Reporting Services based on User Permissions

Hi,
I want to provide SQL server reporting services rendering extension based on user Access.
For Example
User1 can have options of Rendering to EXCEL and PDF
User2 can have a option of CSV
i read one article which is useful for report basis rendering extension changes. but i want to give user basis rendering options.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3569/how-to-change-rendering-extensions-in-sql-server-reporting-services/?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline&utm_campaign=20150406
Thanks in advance.
GVRSPK VENI

You can use a data driven subscription for that
Maintain a table with rendering extension information for various users ie their AD user login. Then setup a data driven subscription based on table values
You will be creating a dataset with query for retrieving userid as well as rendering extensions and then just set the value as Get value from database for render Format and To properties
For more details refer

1.        Question 3: How to install a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows?
Answer:
To install the 32-bit version of Reporting Services on a computer that is running the 64-bit version of IIS 6.0, we can follow these following steps:
1.       Uninstall the 64-bit version of Reporting Services.
Note: Side-by-side installations of 32-bit versions of Reporting Services and 64-bit versions of Reporting Services are not supported.
2.       Run the Dotnetfx64.exe file to manually install the .NET Framework.
The Dotnetfx64.exe file is in the Tools\redist\2.0 folder on the SQL Server 2005 Setup media. To download the Dotnetfx64.exe file, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70186
3.       In IIS Manager, click Web Server Extensions.

[Forum FAQ] The Reporting Server cannot be reinstalled on a same SQL Server Reporting Service instance

Symptom: Sometimes, when you want to reinstall the Reporting Server Role for Operation Manager 2012,
but you may encounter an issue that the Reporting Server Role cannot be reinstalled after you successfully uninstall it. When you check the System Center Operation Manager installation log, you can find the following error as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Reporting Server Role cannot be reinstalled
It seems that the SQL Server Reporting Service has not been configured properly. When you open Reporting Services Configuration Manager to check the settings, the settings seem fine though.
Even you recreate Reporting Service Database, the error remains.
After reviewing the OpsMgrSetupWizard.log, we get the following errors when wizard try to connect to SQL Server Reporting Instance (Figure 2).
[07:24:05]: Error: :CheckHttpAddressResponse failed: Threw Exception.Type: System.Net.WebException, Exception Error Code: 0x80131509, Exception.Message:
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
[07:24:05]: Error: :StackTrace: at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Setup.ReportingComponent.CheckHttpResponseFromSRSUrl(String
httpSite)
Figure 2: Error Log -1
It indicates the Reporting Service encounters an internal error. The Website cannot handle the request. So you may check the Reporting Service log which is located in C:\Users\Administrator.SCOM2012\AppData\Local\SCOM\LOGS
and the following errors may be found (Figure 3).
library!ReportServer_0-18!1448!03/30/2014-02:53:23:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ServerConfigurationErrorException:
Unable to load assembly Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Reporting.Security, Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ServerConfigurationErrorException: The report server has encountered a configuration error. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Reporting.Security' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Reporting.Security'
Figure 3: Error Log -2
Reason: After the Reporting Server is installed on a SSRS instance, the Reporting Server of SCOM
needs to modify the web.config and rsreportserver.config file to add its own assembly to make the Reporting Server work. But it does not change it back when Reporting Server is uninstalled. So the assembly cannot be loaded and the SSRS cannot respond
our requests.
Resolution: When the Reporting Server is installed, the old web.config and rsreportsserver.config
files will be backed up to web.config1 and rsreportsserver.config1. So you just need to change the files’ name back, then try to install Reporting Server of SCOM again. Everything would go smoothly.

Hi AakashGhare,
According to your error message, SQL Server 2008 databases are version 655. SQL Server 2008 R2 databases are 661. When you are trying to attach an 2008 R2 database (v. 661) to an 2008 instance and this is not supported. As other post, once the database has
been upgraded to an 2008 R2 version, it cannot be downgraded. You'll have to either upgrade your 2008 SP2 instance to R2, or you have to copy out the data in that database into an 2008 database (such as using the data migration wizard).
In addition, if you want to use a Windows Batch file code and command to automatically login to SQL Server, detach database and attach a new one database, there is a similar details about batch code for attaching database to a new database, you can refer
to this article.

SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Error(Subscription)

I have just deployed a new project on the server and i can successfully run report from the BI Site; [Server Name]\Reports and no issue there. But when i try to create Subscription for the same report; I am trying File Share and it throws error as given
below. Do i have to configure anything for subscription in the Reporting Services Configuration Tool???
I also have few questions regarding Configuration;
What account should i use for the Deployed Data Source on the Server? A valid SQL Server Account I assume!!!
What account should i use for the Execution Account (For Unattended Operations) ? A valid Windows Account? or SQL Server account?
What account should i use for the File Share Subscription (Credentials used to access the file share:)? A Valid Windows Account with permission for that folder?

Thanks,

Hi RP,
For your first issue "cannpt create subscriptions", after analyzing the error logs, it seems to be caused to the service account for the Reporting Services service does not have proper permissions to invoke the WIN32 API.
The SQL Server Reporting Services invokes the Win32 API to impersonate user's permissions to write files to shared folder or call COM+ components.
In this case, we can change the service account to a account has permissions to invoke the Win32 API to solve the issue. For example, we can change the account to be NetworkService or LocalSystem:
1. Backup the encryption key using Reporting Serivces Configuration Manager.
2. Change the service account using Reporting Serivces Configuration Manager.
3. Restore the encryptiong key using Reporting Serivces Configuration Manager.
For your others questions, please see the following inline reply:
--What account should i use for the Deployed Data Source on the Server? A valid SQL Server Account I assume!!!
The account should be a Windows account or the SQL Server account, that has read permissions in the source data base at least.
--What account should i use for the Execution Account (For Unattended Operations) ? A valid Windows Account? or SQL Server account?
The account must be a Windows user account. For best results, choose an account that has read permissions and network logon permissions to support connections to other computers. It must have read permissions on any external image or data file that you
want to use in a report. Do not specify a local account unless all report data sources and external images are stored on the report server computer. Use the account only for unattended report processing.
--What account should i use for the File Share Subscription (Credentials used to access the file share:)? A Valid Windows Account with permission for that folder?
You are right. It must be a Windows account, which has permissions to access and write files to the shared folder.

Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable. However,
all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting. And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model. Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report.
If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report. This does not seem end user friendly at all!
We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
2+. Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources. So we would have to build the Datasets for them. But in that case, what point is there in creating any
Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

Hi Dan,
Report Builder 1.0
Simple template-based reports
Requires report model
Supports only SQL Server, Oracle, and Analysis Services as data sources
Supports RDL 2005
Bundled in SSRS
Report Builder 2.0 or later
Full-featured reports as the BIDS Report Designer
Doesn't require (but supports) report models
Supports any data source
Supports RDL 2008
Available as a separate web download
In your scenario, you want to use Report Builder 1.0 in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2, I am afraid this cannot achieve. Report Builder 1.0 is available in the box in either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008. It is not available as a separate client apps and is
only available as a click once application.
Report Builder 1.0
Report Builder 3.0
Thank you for your understanding.

[Forum FAQ] How do I add an average line to series group on SQL Server Reporting Services column chart?

Introduction
In SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS), you may need an average value on column chart.
For the above chart, add an average score line to the chart, you can get which student’s score is larger than average score, and which student’s score is less than average score clearly. This document demonstrates how to add an average line to series groups
on SSRS column chart.
Solution
To achieve this requirement, you can add another values to the chart, change the chart type to line chart. Set the value to average value of the series group and set the line to show only once by using expression. Please refer to the link below to see the
detail steps.
Click the chart to display the Chart Data pane.
Add Score field to the Values area.
Right-click the new inserted Score1 and select Change Chart Type. And then change chart type to line chart in the Select Chart Type window.
Change the Category Group name to Subject. Here are the screenshot for you reference.
Right-click the new inserted Score1 and select Series Properties.
Click the expression button on the right of Value field textbox, type the expression below:
=Avg(Fields!Score.Value,"Subject"))
Click Visibility in the left pane, select “Show or hide based on an expression”, and type in the expression below:
=IIF(Fields!Name.Value="Rancy",FALSE,TRUE)
Name in the expression is one of the Students. Then only one line chart is be displayed by using this expression.
Click Legend in the left pane, type Average_Score to the Custom legend text box.
The report looks like below:
Applies to
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server 2008
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Creating alias for Web access to SQL Server Reporting Services

Hello colleagues.
I have MS SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server Reporting Services in domain "domain.local". In the local network at the entrance via Web browser to "mdr.domain.local/Reports" get into Reports of SQL Server Reporting Services and it's work fine.
Necessary that the SQL Server Reporting Services could include via Web browser from alias "reports2.domain.local/Reports". To do this:
1) I created a new A record "reports2" in the DNS leading to IP mdr.domain.local
2) in Reporting Services Configuration Manager on a tab "Web Service URL" in "Report Server Web Service URLs" I add new record "http://reports2:80/ReportServer" (host Header Name: reports2)
BUT "reports2.domain.local/Reports" is not work. When entering to "reports2.domain.local/Reports" I see page "An error in the security certificate for this Web Site..." and when I click "Continue to ...", then "Unable
to find a web page."
What and where I must add/change for work of alias "reports2.domain.local/Reports" by analogy with "mdr.domain.local/Reports"?
I hope for your help.
Thanks.

WooW it's work!!! Thank you
JJordheim you are the best!
With my PKI I create new certificate for "reports2.domain.local" and Import it to MDR server (in Personal). I create new network adapter and configure Reporting Services Configuration on "Report manager URL" tab (for SSL):
mdr.domain.local - certificate "mdr.domain.local" - network adapter №1
reports2.domain.local - certificate "reports2.sygroup.local" - network adapter №2
And all work fine.
If I configure all to 1 network adapter it's doesn't work.
Thanks for help!

Verify that SQL Server Reporting Services is installed properly and that it is running.

I am trying to install DPM 2010 on Windows 2008 R2. Running through installation and the server that I'm installing DPM to will also host the SQL instance and Reporting instance. Pretty much choosing all the defaults.
Installation gets to reporting portion and fails. It says that I need to verify that Reporting Services is running.   The exact error is:
Data Protection Manager installation has failed. To return the server to its original state, you must uninstall Data Protection Manager by using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. This will remove all files and components copied during installation.
For details, click the Error tab.

It is running and working, I can go to the URL and see Reports installed.   It grabbed a server certificate which is valid and binds that to 443. I have tried this as well with the certificate removed.

Hello,
The real problem is the error UnableToConfigureAccount and *** Mojito error was: PasswordTooShort; 0; None
The reason is due to the new password complexity on Windows 2008 which states the following:
Password must meet complexity requirements
This security setting determines whether passwords must meet complexity requirements.
If this policy is enabled, passwords must meet the following minimum requirements:
Not contain the user's account name or parts of the user's full name that exceed two consecutive characters
Be at least six characters in length Contain characters from three of the following four categories:
English uppercase characters (A through Z)
English lowercase characters (a through z)
Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %)
Complexity requirements are enforced when passwords are changed or created.
Default:
Enabled on domain controllers.
Disabled on stand-alone servers.
Note: By default, member computers follow the configuration of their domain controllers.
Please use a more secure password adhering to the above criteria and DPM should install fine.

Sql server reporting services + export to excel + embedded images

Hi all,
i got a problem when exporting to excel in ssrs 2008.
i use embedded image in the report. but when i export the report to excel, image is being exported but its width is being changed to size 0 .
but when i click on it and expand it explicitly in excel it is being expanded .
how to make the image by default to its actual width?
how to fix this problem ?

Hi sudeep Puvvadi,
Based on the information posted, I have a test with SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 (SSRS2008) and Microsoft
Excel 2010 by the following steps:
From the Toolbox window, drag the image to the top edge of the design surface.
In the image Properties dialog box, select Embedded from the Select The Image Source drop-down list.
Click import, and select a BMP file from my local computer.
Right-click the image, select Image Properties. In Size category, select Original size.
Export the report to excel.
When opening the excel file, the image displays with original size rightly. So I suggest you to add an image with
the same steps above, then checking whether the image shows correctly. If it still cannot work fine for you, could you please give me a feedback and tell me related settings, so that I can reproduce the scenario exactly and provide further assistance?
Thanks,
Lola Wang

SQL Server Reporting Services Integration

If anyone has been considering looking at SQL Services Reporting Service, a business intelligence tool from Microsoft, you will be glad to know that I have just submitted a project to code share that provides integration between SSRS and the Plumtree portal.
In brief, the integration code implemements the iAuthenticationExtension and iAuthorizationExtension interfaces, allowing SSRS to authenticate plumtree users and authorize them based on plumtree groups.
It might be a few days before it is available on code share, as it has to be manually reviewed.
Caveat: it works in Firefox/Safari, but not quite so nice as it does in IE. This is a Microsoft BI tool, after all. :)

Hi, Tim.
The description and questions were brought up in an email conversation
with a developer:
There seems to be a disconnect between the Plumtree environment and Microsoft's SQL Server Reporting Services.
The present configuration: .Net version of Plumtree 5.0.4 suite of servers Windows 2000 Server SP4 (fully patched) SQL Server 2000 with latest patches SQL Server Reporting Services 2000 with latest patches
The app in question gathers SSRS reporting criteria via .NET web pages.
The disconnect occurs at the call to SSRS.
Without the gateway - the call to SSRS completes and a web page containing the report is displayed.
With the gateway - the call to SSRS does not complete and no report is displayed.
I understand this is a problem that has been reported on the DevCenter.Plumtree.Com site by Tim Larson of Mission to the World
URL =http://portal.plumtree.com/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_9690_0_0_47/http;/prodgadget14.plumtree.com/publishedcontent/publish/sc___code_share/code_source/articles/sql_server_reporting_services_integration_.html?qid=84973886&rank=2
Can the call to SSRS be accomplished if gatewaying is turned on for this app? - Is there a workaround? - not gatewaying the app is not an option

Encrypt Excel Export from SQL Server Reporting Services prior to attaching to e-mail

Does SSRS 2012 have a secure e-mail Delivery Extension that would allow the Excel document to be encrypted?
Or is there sample code?
Or is the best approach to consider a Microsoft Partner product such as Database Potential, Inc.'s "Secure Delivery Pack for SQL Server Reporting Services"?
http://www.databasepotential.com/product-p/sdp.htm
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or feedback regarding this topic.
Boyd

Hi Boyd,
Currently, it’s not supported a delivery extension that encrypts documents before sending them in Reporting Services. If you have the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) environment, you can use the following workaround:
1. Using SSIS Script Task to encrypt the report before exporting it to the Excel file.
2. Add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel files to the recipients.
For the details, please refer to the document below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2011/10/encrypt-files-in-ssis.html
In addition, we can try to use .NET API approach. In this scenario, we need capture the Excel file using the WQL Query of FileWatcher, and then encrypt the file, finally email the Excel File.
For the details, please refer to the blog as shown below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2010/12/continuously-watching-files-with-wmi.html
If you need more assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Data Driven EMail Subscription in SQL Server Reporting Services...

Hi,
I have a clarification in SQL Server Reporting Services Data Driven Subscription. We have a request to send an email a report based on the report parameter Site . The request is to send email For each site the report is running, email should sent to different recipients list. We have 97 different sites in the Site parameter.
If Report is running for Site C004 the email should be sent to one recipient, if the Report is running for Site C007 , then the email should be sent to another recipient. Here we have been requested to do with Data-Driven Subscription. How to send the report as a email for each site for different Recipients using Data Driven EMail Subscription.
Please give us a suggestion to overcome this problem.
Thanking You...

Hi David,
Thanks for your comments. We understand the Data Driven subscription, but we dont know how to write query for this subscription. here is our scenario.
There are list of sites in the table. like C004, C007, C008 etc..... in the report,
We have Site parameter (All Sites (default), C004, C007 etc....) and also date range parameter (Start Date, End date) (which are not defaulted in the report) and other 2 parameters. Here we need to send the report to different recipients based on the site. C004 report results should be develivered to one recipient, C007 site results should be delivered to another recipient and so on....
As we are new to Data driven subscription, can you explain how to create table that will be saving the email recipients list and the query that we are specifying in the Data Driven Subscription. Please help us to how to create the data driven subscription for the above scenarion.
Thanks and Regards,
Sundarrajan.G

SQL Server Reporting Service 2008 R2 - The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

I got the error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized." when I call the Reporting Service Web Service.
The code is very simple:
// Initialise the reporting service Web Service
this.RSWebService = new ReportingService2010();
// Pass windos authentication credentials to Web Service
this.RSWebService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// List children
List<CatalogItem> reports = this.RSWebService.ListChildren(folder, false).ToList();
The SQL Server is installed on a different machine (say server A) from the Web server (say server B). We are using Windows Server 2003.
The code work fine for all the scenario below:
i) Run locally (XP) to call the web service on the sql server
ii) Provide the Network Credentials with the username, password, and domain when calling the web service
iii) If the web server and sql server is using same server (i.e. not distributed)
I'm using windows authentication and impersonation. Any idea?

Hi Raymond,
If I understand correctly, the issue only happens in the environment that the web server is different with the SQL Server Reporting Services server. This means the web server is a remote server of the Report Server. Windows Integrated authentication is used
in this case. When running the web page, the 401 error occurs.
If so, it is actually a double hop issue. The double-hop problem will usually only be an issue to those of you who write some sort of web-based code (a web application or web service) that uses impersonation.
To fix the issue, we can configure kerberos authentication for the web application and the SQL Server Reporting Services.
Below is a great article that has delivered many solutions to fix the issue you met:
http://odetocode.com/articles/216.aspx
Additionally, you can read the following article to know more about double-hop:

Thanks Jin. I believe this is the cause of the problem as well.
I tried to register the SPN but unfortunately it still doesn't work. I'm not sure whether I'm using the correct SPN name.
I have 3 reporting server instance on the SQL box. So the Web Service URL is like
http://Server:80/VirtualDirectoryDev,
http://Server:80/VirtualDirectoryTest and
http://Server:80/VirtualDirectoryStaging .
What's the SPN I need to register?
I tried
Setspn -a http/Server:80/VirtualDirectoryDev domain\account
and
Setspn -a http/aerver:80 domain\account.
But both of them are not working :(

QSUF (Query string url filter) and SQL Server reporting services report viewer parameters

Hi,
this is my issue:
I have a SQL Server reporting services web part on a page with a report with 1 parameter, lets say it's a client list
Then i have a QSUF that will be used to filter the clients list through the URL
However, once i connect the filter and the report viewer web part, the parameter goes away and is no longer accessible
I'd like to somehow keep the parameter visible, in case there is no parameter sent through the URL, i would like the user to be able to choose a client from the parameter drop down list
I saw that there is a "send empty if no values are passed" option, but i can't seem to get this working properly and i don't know if this option will make the parameter visible again
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the query string url filter web part not worked well with SQL server reproting services web part.
Did you use the Wiki page layout in your environment?
You can change the page to a web part page, then check whether it work.
There is a similar thread for your reference.
