SP2013 SSRS 2012 repor service add-in always uses NT authority\anonymous instead of windows authentication

We are building a SP2013 farm with SQL2012 and the SSRS 2012 add in , looking at the rsreportserver.config we have added the parameter RSWindowsNegotiate as listed below. 
<Authentication>
    <AuthenticationTypes>
      <RSWindowsNegotiate/>     
< /AuthenticationTypes>
We have followed this article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281253.aspx) where the following is listed:
ASP.NET must be configured for Windows Authentication. By default, the Web.config files for the Report Server Web service and Report Manager include the <authentication mode="Windows"> .
However looking at the web.config of the report server the following parameters * (see below)are present but
not the authentication mode='windows', only <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" /> is listed. 
* <security>
      <authentication>
        <anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
        <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />
      </authentication>
    </security>
The report server is operational as long as we use datasources  located on the same farm but as soon as try to utilize a datasource outside the farm the report server uses anonymous to access the datasource. We have configure the c2wt services and have
the proper spn's in place on the domain , so we should not be suffering from the double hop issue.
How do we configure the reportserver to accept windows authentication?
Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Jim

R0ber7o,
Thanks for your reply, The web application is configured to use Kerberos and the spn has been created for the web application account.Yes I do receive a Kerberos ticket when I access the web application:
Client: myuser @ DOMAIN.COM
Server: HTTP/webapp @ DOMAIN.COM
KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
Ticket Flags 0x40a40000 -> forwardable renewable pre_authent ok_as_delegate
Start Time: 1/3/2014 13:08:26 (local)
End Time:   1/3/2014 23:03:42 (local)
Renew Time: 1/13/2014 13:03:42 (local)
Session Key Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(N
What we do not understand is why the reporting service application will only work when it uses :
identity impersonate="false" & anonymousAuthentication enabled="true"
when we change the identity impersonation to true we cannot access the reporting services system settings in the CA anymore and receive an error message:
"The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key that is used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server database"

  • SSRS 2012: How to get a "Select All" that returns NULL instead of an actual list of all values from a multi-select parameter?

    I have a multi-select parameter that can have a list of thousands of entries. In general, the user will pick a few entries from the list or "Select All". If they check "Select All", I would much prefer that I get a NULL or an empty string
    instead of a list of all values. Is there any way to do that?
    In experimenting with a work-around, I tried putting an "All" label with a null value in the list, but it is ignored (does not display in the drop-down). If I use an empty string for the value, my "All" entry does get displayed, but so
    does "Select All", which is confusing. Is there a way to suppress "Select All"?
    - Mark

    I adapted the following from a workaround posted by JNeo on 4/16/2010 at 11:14 AM at
    http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/249227/multi-value-select-all-parameter-in-reporting-services
    To get a null value instead of the full list of all values when "Select All" is chosen:
    1) Add a multi-value parameter "MyParam" that lists the values to choose.
    2) Add a DataSet "ParamCount" identical to the one used by "MyParam", except that it returns a single column named [Count] that is a COUNT(*) of the same data
    3) Add a parameter "MyParamCount", set it to hidden and internal, then set the default value to 'Get values from a query', choosing "ParamCount" for the Dataset and the one [Count] column for the Value field.
    4) Change the parameter for the main report DataSet so that instead of using [@MyParam], it uses this expression:
    =IIF(Parameters!MyParam.Count =
    Parameters!ParamCount.Value, Nothing, Join(Parameters!MyParam.Value, ","))

  • Dundas Chart for Reporting Services in SSRS 2012

    We are in the process of upgrading our servers to 2012 and though I find many things about converting or upgrading dundas controls to 2008, I can't find anything about upgrading/converting to SSRS 2012.  After converting the development machines to
    SQL Server/SSRS 2012 the reports now simply show "The custom Report Item Type DundasChartControl is not installed".  The only Dundas Chart installation I can find is for SSRS 2008.  Does a 2012 version not exist?  Am I supposed to
    convert these into Microsoft charts?
    Thanks in advance,
    Robb Melancon

    Hi Robb,
    It seems that you are using Dundas Chart Control for SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services not the Dundas Chart Control 2005 that Microsoft has purchased.
    Microsoft purchased the license to use Dundas Chart Control 2005 in Reporting Services 2008 and above. Therefore the supported upgrade is from Reporting Services 2005 Dundas Charts to SSRS 2008 (R2) and SSRS 2012 Charts.
    If you are using a particular component released by Dundas for SSRS 2008 R2, you won’t be able to upgrade Reporting Services 2008 R2 Reports with Dundas Charts to Reporting Services 2012 Charts.
    To confirm this, please check the details of this assembly “DundasRSChart.dll” located under the /Report Server/bin directory.
    If the Product Name is “Dundas Chart for Reporting Services 2008 R2”, it indicates that this is a new version of Dundas Chart for SSRS 2008 R2 (i.e. a third party control). If the Product Name is “Microsoft SQL Server”, it indicates that this is the version
    that Microsoft has purchased.
    In this condition, you have to migrate the DundasRSChart.dll to the SSRS 2012 instance and reference it as the custom assembly in the reports. Please make sure to rename the DLL file so that it won’t replace the native DundasRSChart.dll installed by SQL
    Server 2012.
    For more information about referencing custom assembly in a report, please see:

  • Kerberos Authentication between Sharepoint 2013 Foundation - SSRS 2012 - Oracle 11g failing with ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed

    I have set up SharePoint 2013 Foundation, SharePoint Reporting Services and SQL Server 2012 in a single server. I then created a Data Connection to Oracle 11g. Upon testing the connection, it throws the error “ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
    Given below are the steps of installation and configuration.
    Installation till basic authentication:
    The installation has been done in a
    single server.
    Installed SQL Server 2012 (Developer version).
    Selected only the following features:
    Database Engine Services
    Analysis Services
    Reporting Services – SharePoint
    Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products
    Management Tools – Basic
    - Management Tools - Complete
      2. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP1.
      3. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP2.
      4. Installed SharePoint Foundation 2013.
      5. Created web application (without Kerberos; we did not even create the SPNs).
          The application pool has been configured to use Reporting Services account since it is a single server installation. This account has been registered as a managed
    account.
      6. Created Site Collection.
      7. Verified that Reporting Services is not installed.
      8. Installed SharePoint Reporting Services from SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
      9. Verified that Reporting Services is installed.
     10. Created a new SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and associated the Web Application to the new SQL server Reporting Services Service Application.
      11. Verified that SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and its proxy have started. Reset IIS.
      12. Created a Site.
      13. Created a Data Connection library with “Report Data Source” content type.
      14. Created a Report Model library with “Report Builder Model” content type.
      15. Created a Report library with “Report Builder Report” content type.
      16. Uploaded an SMDL to the Report Model library.
      17. Added the top level site to Local Intranet instead of as a Trusted Site in the browser settings.
      18. Able to create and save a report using Report Builder.
    Hence, basic authentication is working and SSRS is able to connect to Oracle database.
    Next we have to configure Kerberos settings between SharePoint and SQL Server.
    Implementation of Kerberos authentication
    In the Report Server machine, opened the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices\Reporting\rsreportserver.config  and added the Authentication Types of RSWindowsNegotiate
    and RSWindowsKerberos.
     2.  Set up the following SPNs.
                   a) SQL Server Database Engine service (sqlDbSrv2):
                    setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
                    setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110.cer.demo.com:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
                 In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)".
    b) Account: SharePoint Setup Admin account (spAdmin2)
         setspn -S HTTP/CER1110:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
                    setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
                    In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any  service
    (Kerberos only)".
    c) Account: SQL Server Reporting Service account (sqlRepSrv2)
                       setspn -S HTTP/CER1110 CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
                       setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
                       In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service
    (Kerberos only)".
      3. Configure the Web Application to use “Negotiate (Kerberos)”.
      4. Logged in as SharePoint Administrator to the SharePoint server and opened the top level site in the IE browser.
         The Event Viewer logged the login process for the SharePoint Administration account as
    Negotiate and not Kerberos.
      5. Implemented Kerberos for Oracle database and client.
         Able to connect to the Oracle database via Kerberos authentication using SQL Plus.
      6. Turn on Windows Firewall.
      7. While testing the site's data connection using Kerberos settings, got the error
    “Can not convert claims identity to windows token. This may be due to user not logging in using windows credentials.”
          Note: The Data Connection for basic authentication still worked.
      8. Created a Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2).
      9. Started the Claims to Windows Token Service.
     10. Registered the Claims to Windows Token Service account as a Managed Account.
     11. Changed the Claims To Windows Token Service to use the above managed account.
     12. Verified that the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) is automatically added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box.
          Note: The Reporting Services service account is also a part of the WSS_WPG local group.
     13. Added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) to the Local Admin Group on the machine having the SharePoint App Server.
     14. In the SharePoint box, added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) in the Act as part of the operating system policy right.
     15. The Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) has the WSS_WPG group configured.
          When the C2WTS service was configured to use the managed account Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) earlier, the spC2WTS2 account was automatically
    added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box. The WSS_WPG group in turn is configured in c2wtshost.exe.config file.
     16. Verified that the Reporting Services account is a managed account and part of the WSS_WPG group.
     17. Earlier Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service was associated with the SharePoint Admin account.
          Changed this to associate the Reporting Service account with the Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service.
     18. Changed the delegation of the Reporting Service account to constrained delegation with Protocol Transitioning. This is because we are transitioning from one authentication scheme (Claims) to another (Windows Token).
          For this, the delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use
    any authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
          Note: The Reporting Service account already had an HTTP SPN.
     19. Next, the goal was to make the Claims To Windows Token Service account match the Reporting Service account.
           For this, we created a fake SPN for the Claims To Windows Token Service account since the delegation tab was missing.
           The delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use any
    authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
     20. Restarted the SharePoint server.
     21. Tested the data connection with the Kerberos settings again.
           Got the error
    “ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
    Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this setup?

    http://www.freeoraclehelp.com/2011/10/kerberos-authentication-for-oracle.html
    Problem4: ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed

  • SSRS 2012. ReportServer takes long time to be up.

    SSRS 2012 Sp1
    Hi guys,
    I am using SSRS as my reporting platform, but I have always got the following issue.
    SSRS ReportServer takes time to load.
    The first time takes long, then less time but only if the ReprotServer web page is continuosly retrived.
    HERE the problem:
    If the ReprotServer page is not used after a short time (let me say 10 min), the page takes long time to be up again.
    I have checked the configuration that is set as for default 12 hours.
    Is there a way to speed up the ReportServer opening page time?
    Thanks for your help 

    Hi Fasttrack2,
    According to your description, you want to optimize the performance of your report. Right?
    In this scenario, when your report page is not active for a short time, it will take long time to render again. This is because the you have the report timeout. You can select "Do not timeout report" in Processing. Please refer to the link below:
    SQL Server Reporting Services – Timeout Settings
    For the performance issue, it can be many reason cause the report running slowly. Please refer to the articles below to optimize the report:
    More tips to improve performance of SSRS reports.

  • Migration of Reports from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012

    Hi,
    I have 50 Reports in SSRS 2005 currently in production server. My Client want to migrate to SSRS 2012.
    I migrated one RDL using BIDS. I am using list items inside Text Box in those Reports. The Problem is design and style of the Report changed in SSRS 2012.
    Borders are not coming correctly.
    I want the same Report in 2012 also.
    Please suggest what to do?
    Appreciate your help.
    Regards,
    Bala

    Hi Bala,
    Gernerally, when you upgrade a Reporting Services installation to a SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) installation, existing reports and snapshots that have been published to a report server are compiled and automatically upgraded to the new schema
    the first time they are processed. If a report cannot be automatically upgraded, the report is processed using the backward-compatibility mode. The report definition remains in the original schema.
    Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
    As you have mentioned that you got the layout problem when you add the report to BIDS, the issue can be caused the upgration have some limitation.
    In your scenario, i recommend you to upload the rdl file to the SSRS2012 server directly to see if the layout will change, but upload direcly will not upgrate this report.
    Details information about upgrade and migration in the below articles for your reference:

  • SQL Server Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint not installing properly

    Environment: Windows Server 2008R2, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint 2013 Enterprise
    When I run the install for SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint it SHOULD install to c:\program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14 AND 15. Specifically it should drop a mess of ASPx pages for admin to the \templates\Admin\ReportServer
    folder. In this environment it only pushes them to the 14 folder and not the 15. Any ideas on why this would happen? I have not ever seen this before and it is hosing the install completely.

    Hi Gouranga,
    According to your description, when you install the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint 2013, you find the files are installed into the folder for sharepoint 2010(..../14). Right?
    In Reporting Services, Not all features are supported in all combinations of report server, Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint, and SharePoint Products. Please see the linke below:
    Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Server and Add-in (SQL Server 2012)
    As you can see in the link, the SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in is only for Sharepoint 2010. This the reason why it's installed into the file for sharepoint 2010.

  • SSIS 2012 - NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON failure

    I have a SSIS package which I have deployed to the Integration Services Catalog. When I execute the package it fails on validation of the destination database with the : 
    SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D.
    An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0"  Hresult: 0x80040E4D  Description: "Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.".
    This package is attempting to connect to a database on a different server running with windows authentication.
    For the Integration Services DB, where my package is deployed, the database (SSISDB) service runs under a user which has permission on the destination db on the other server. I thought that this would mean when the package is run, this user would
    be used for windows authentication. I'm not sure why it's trying to use: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON to connect, as this is not specified anywhere. 
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Andrew, looks like you are right. It appears due to the double-hop here we have to set up kerberos delegation.
    This is a headache for us and it's a shame it doesn't work out of the box. Obvious work around is to use SQL authentication, but that is not an option for us. 
    I would say this is a major issue - previous versions didn't need this extra setup to be able to do something which is quite straightforward.

    Hi,
    I'm looking at getting my servers upgraded to SQL Server 2014.  My SSRS reporting server is SQL 2012 native mode. I know there were not really any significant enhancements in native mode going from SSRS 2008 R2 to SSRS 2012.  Does SSRS
    2014 add anything significant/at all to SSRS native mode?

    Hi Jameson,
    As you know that Microsoft SQL Server 2014 is released, so you want to know the new features added in SSRS 2014.
    Based on my research, SQL Server 2014 release of Reporting Services is unchanged from the previous release, except it adds support for the Google Chrome browser to view report.

  • New SSRS 2012 Service Application Fails to Upgrade ReportServer Database

    Hi - 
    I am in the middle of an SSRS upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012, SP 2010 integrated, without upgrading the database engine. This is on my DEV environment. I am running into problems when I add the new SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application through Central
    Administration.  I am keying in the previous db names, so they will be upgraded, "ReportServer". After clicking OK, a screen pops up notifying me that "ReportServer" and "ReportServerTempDB" will be upgraded. So far so good
    right? Well as it is processing, it returns with the error found at the bottom:
     The correlationID is nowhere to be found in the ULS Logs. I turned on Verbose logging and still no luck. I have restored the ReportServer database from a backup from 3 days ago and tried again. Same error, different correlation ID, not found
    in ULS logs. NOTE: I first encountered a specific permissions error for the service account I was using.  That was nice and descriptive :). Changed the permissions to db_owner and sys_admin (for overkill) and now this non-descriptive error appears.  I
    have a few questions:
    1. I have gone through the same process of adding a new service application and let a new set of the 3 SSRS db's be created with a different name. But that means I lose all previous subscriptions, data source connections
    to the rdls, etc.  Is there a way to port/migrate over the previous ReportServer db contents to the newly created db's? I tried a simple SSIS transfer of each table, and as expected I immediately received FK contraint errors, ID Inserts and so forth.
    2. Why wouldn't the correlation ID be showing up with verbose tracking?
    3. Does anyone know common reasons why the previous RS databases would not be successfully upgraded???
    Thank you for any and all help. I am in the position of being able to roll back to snapshots created Thursday morning of the entire SP farm, but we are now at the point of having consultant work being lost so I am really trying hard to get this upgrade to
    be successful and done in our DEV environment.

    I restored to a backup of the databases REportServer and ReportServerTempDB that I took last night before I tried to manually update them with writing out the SQL File via Powershell.  I tried to  have the Service Application upgrade the database
    again, knowing it would fail, which it did, and am now reviewing the logs in the location you mentioned above.  For the 2 minutes that the failure could have happened during, all I see is OWSTIMER.EXE (0x07CC)   errors, which I'm fairly positive
    are unrelated, mainly cause they keep occurring round the clock and a caching error? Again, I am trying to simply find out why the Service Application upgrade the db's and have reverted back to a previous state. I felt the collation errors i was troubleshooting
    above were too far down the rabbit hole.

  • Sharepoint 2013 SSRS Interaction with Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services connecting to Sql Server 2008 R2 database

    Hi
    I'm working on upgrading sharepoint 2010 to sharepoint 2013 with sql server 2008 r2. I've ran into some problems but have been able to get a test farm upgraded. However to run SSRS 2013 it seems Sql Server 2012 Reporting Services are required. Upgrading
    to a full sql server 2012 database isn't an option. I know that sql server 2012 reporting services can use sql server 2008 r2 as a catalog and content database so I was wondering could this be a workaround? Importantly would I need a separate machine/virtual
    machine to host sql server 2012 reporting services? or could it live on the sql server 2008 r2 machine? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Dan

    Remember that SSRS must be deployed on the SharePoint server. Having said that, yes you can install SSRS 2012 SP1 on a server running SQL 2008 R2. And yes, you can use 2008 R2 as your Database Engine server while SSRS 2012 SP1 runs on the SharePoint server.

  • Cannot re-add deleted Header row to tablix in SSRS 2012?

    Hello, I am stuck on this seeminly small issue. I am using SSRS 2012 RC0 in Visual Studio 2010 sp1 to build this tabular report. I had inadvertantly removed the initial header row from my tablix before adding numerous nested groupings to move the column
    headers to the header section so they would show up on each page. I would like to reverse that decision, but I seem to be unable to now re-add that header row back to my tablix. In older versions of SSRS, I was able to right click on the table and then click
    on insert row-->Header row but that does not seem to be possible in ssrs 2012.. I tried adding a outer row to my top most grouping, but that option was grayed out.
    Please advise how I can add my header row back to my table.
    thanks!

    Hi chenthorn,
    In your case, could you please post a screenshot about your report design structure to us for further investigation? Generally, we can right-click on the “details” row and then select “Insert Row->Outside Group - Above” to get the table header.
    Otherwise, SQL Server 2012 RTM available for download. Please see:

    Hi this does work, but just like any other row added outside the group in the table, it doesnot have the properties of a header, it cannot repeat on every page/pagebreak.Is there any other way the deleted header can be added back?
    Regards
    Prasanth
    Is the header row 'special' or is it just another row?
