It sounds more like a Crystal Reports question than an MSSQL one, but you
may want to try posting in microsoft.public.sqlserver.olap, to see if anyone
there has experience of this.

You may want to capture a trace using the Profiler tool which should show
you what SELECT statements are being passed from Crystal. See BOL on
Profiler. Once you capture the trace you could then run the SELECT
statement(s) in Query Analyzer which may tell you if you are having an issue
with your reporting tool or if your SELECT statements cause errors or
timeouts.|||"Terri" <Terri@.spamaway.com> wrote in message news:<c1jmk1$33q$1@.reader2.nmix.net>...

Profiler probably won't help here - as far as I know, it works with
connections to SQL Server only, not to Analysis Services.

Credentials used to run this report are not stored.

I created a report in SSRS, and deployed it. I have created security where when users run the on demand report, it will prompt them for a username and password. I went to the properties of the report then Execution, and tried to set up report execution snapshot and got an error 'Credentials used to run this report are not stored.' I get the same error if I go to History and try to select any of the options there.

Hello,

In order to create a subscription/snapshot, you have to store credentials to run the report. If you don't store the credentials, when it goes to run unattended, it has no connection information.

Jarret

|||Where do I store these credentials?|||

Hello,

Go to the properties of your report, then click on 'Data Sources' on the left. In here, select 'Credentials stored securely in the report server' and supply a username and password. If you use a Windows account, you have to give the domain as well (domain\user) and check the box for 'Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source'. Hit Apply.

Hope this helps.

Jarret

|||That worked....thanks!!

Credentials used to run this report are not stored

Hi all,

When I create a new report subscription in report manager, I got this error

Credentials used to run this report are not stored

any idea?

Thanks,

Jone

Can you go to report properties -> Data Sources and make sure that "Connect Using Credentials stored securely in the report server" is selected and valid user name and password provided?

Thanks,
Sharmila

|||

Thanks for your response.

By the way, which name and password should I input. I tried to using ASPNET as the username (or 'sa' and the password to access sql aerver) but it failed, and gave error message bad user name or password.

Thanks,

jone

|||

For example, if the below is your connection string, you need to enter a user name and password to access the data source.

data source=<ServerName>; initial catalog=<SampleDB>

Thanks,
Sharmila

|||

Thanks, Sharmila.

I use user name = 'sa' and password = 'access' to access my datasource, and I tried to use them in 'Credentials stored securely in the report server', and checked both or first ckeckbox under this selection, and I got

Logon failed. (rsLogonFailed)

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007052E)|||

Jone,

If you select the 'Credentials stored securely in the report server', you should not check the boxes for 'Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source' or 'Impersonate the authenticated user after a connection has been made to the data source'. After entering user name = 'sa' and password = 'access' , press Apply at the bottom and try to view your report.

If this still doesn't work, you should try to login to the database using user name = 'sa' and password = 'access' through Management Studio to see if that works.

Hope this helps.

Jarret

|||

Thanks, Jarret.

According to your suggestion, I configured my datasource and ran my report, and I got error

Non-Windows user credentials were supplied for a non-http connection to Analysis Services. The Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services data extension requires Windows Integrated Security unless connecting via http or https.|||

Could you use a Windows domain account and it's password? Then, you will need to check the box for 'Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source' also.

Jarret

|||

Thank you, Jarret.

I used my user name an dpassword that I use to login my machine, and checked the 'use as windows credentials when connectingto the data source', and the subscription has been created.

But I can't find the e-mail extension on the report. How can the e-mail extension or icon be availale on the report?

BTW, in sql server-->configuration tools--.report service configuration -->email settings,

I input my e-mail address as the sender's address, and the name of our exchange server name as the 'smpt server' name, or should I input "default virtual smtp server' as the smtp server name?

Thanks,

Jone

|||

Hi, more question:

since the application will be used by others, what should I handle the credential issues since I can't use my username and password there?

Thanks,

Jone

|||

I don't think there is an email extension for Reporting Services, you might be able to find something out there that will add this functionality though. I haven't heard of any, but I haven't looked either.

I think you will need to leave your exchange server in the SMTP Server name.

Jarret

|||

You have you have the credentials stored in order to create a subscription.

I just did a test and it seems that the stored credentials are not used when a user runs the report from the browser. So, when your users run the report, you will still see their name in the ExecutionLog table as having executed the report. Also, you can restrict access to the report for specific users as well, just as normal.

My test was: I set the stored credentials as my account, then had a co-worker run the report. Then, I looked in the ExecutionLog, it showed my co-workers account.

Hope this helps.

Jarret

|||

Thank you so much, Jarret. You save me days of time

Jone

|||

Glad I could help Jone, can you mark this one as answered so others can view the solution?

Jarret

|||No problem!

Credentials trouble, please help

Hello,
When I created the datasource for my report, I checkd the save checkbox to
save the username and password to connect to the database, but invoking the
report thru URL integration fails and gives an error b/c of credentials. Why
is that happening if the credentials are saved with the datasource inside the
report?
What is the limitation to the number of characters that can be passed in a
URL string?
Thank you in advance,
RichardI had a similiar problem with the report server. I ended up changing
the credentials to server credentials in both the report properties and
in the properties of the report once it was on the server. Hope this
helps.

credentials of the user datasource

Hi,

I'd like to programme the execution of a report through the execution property option. However, when I try to do it a message error appears related to credentials of the datasource.

The present action is impossible to complete, because the credentials of the user datasource needed to execute this report are not stored on report server database.

I've tried all possible combinations.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Please set user name and password of the user datasource

following is the sample code to set it.

Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.DataSourceCredentials[] crd = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.DataSourceCredentials[1];

crd[0] = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.DataSourceCredentials();

crd[0].Name = "DatasourceName";

crd[0].UserId = User;

crd[0].Password = Pwd;

ReportViewer.ServerReport.SetDataSourceCredentials(crd);

If you are using multiple data sources you need to set credentials for each datasource..

please set datasource credentials after setting report and parameter of the report to report viewer..

|||

By "programme the execution of a report through the execution property option" you don't by any chance mean "I want to set up a snapshot or scheduled report through the Executioin panel of the Properties tab of the Report Manager"?

If this is what you mean, then the message means exactly what it says: the datasource has to have its credentials stored with it (whether it is a shared datasource or one embedded in the report).

If the datasource is set up to run with the credentials of the logged-in user, then it can't be queried when there is no logged-in user (such as when you want a snapshot to execute). Doesn't that make sense?

So... how is the data set up for your report? And with what type(s) of credentials is it accessed?

Credentials in Reporting Services?

I have created several reports in SQL Server 2005 reporting services and I am viewing those reports in my C# application using a report viewer control. I want to pass the credentials for each report through my applications. I do not want to use any web service.

Is it possible?

Any help will be appreciated!!!

TIA

YOu can use the URL Parameters to pass the username and the password, look in the BOL for more information, the syntax for that is:

prefix:datasourcename=value

as the prefix is dsu (for user) or dsp (for password)

I am attempting to secure my reports with Windows Authentication, but allow users of my application to access it from the www and supply credentials through my app. My app is a .Net 2.0 Windows SmartClient, and I am using the ReportViewer control.

I tried the following suggestion:

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri(_txtServer.Text);

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = _listBox.Items[_listBox.SelectedIndex].ToString();

reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Remote;

CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();

cc.Add(new Uri("http://localhost/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx"), "Basic",

new NetworkCredential(_txtUsername.Text, _txtPassword.Text, _txtDomain.Text));

reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = cc;

reportViewer1.ShowCredentialPrompts = false;

reportViewer1.RefreshReport();

...But I still get "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." I am able to authenticate with the web service directly when requesting a list of available reports like this:

ReportingService rService = new ReportingService();

rService.Credentials

= new NetworkCredential(_txtUsername.Text, _txtPassword.Text, _txtDomain.Text);

CatalogItem[] catalogItems;

catalogItems = rService.ListChildren("/", true);

Why can I pass windows credentials to the web service directly, but not through the reportViewer call to reporting services? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi Glenn,

You might have got the solution for your problem, If not and/or for other developers who might visit this blog, please find the solution at following link. Actually you can get it work by setting ImpersonationUser instead of NetworkCredentials property.

I pass the datasource credential through ReportViewer. It is the acutal database login credential instead of a net work credential. So in my application, which login user has nothing to do with Windows

network login user, I am using my application's user id and password to connect to datasource.

By doing this way, I can view a report using diffirent user id/password as long as they exist in the actual database.

It works for me.

...But I still get "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." I am able to authenticate with the web service directly when requesting a list of available reports like this:

ReportingService rService = new ReportingService();

rService.Credentials

Why can I pass windows credentials to the web service directly, but not through the reportViewer call to reporting services? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi Glenn,

You might have got the solution for your problem, If not and/or for other developers who might visit this blog, please find the solution at following link. Actually you can get it work by setting ImpersonationUser instead of NetworkCredentials property.

Hi, you can try this, might help.

I pass the datasource credential through ReportViewer. It is the acutal database login credential instead of a net work credential. So in my application, which login user has nothing to do with Windows

network login user, I am using my application's user id and password to connect to datasource.

By doing this way, I can view a report using diffirent user id/password as long as they exist in the actual database.

It works for me.

privatevoid Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

.............................

Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.DataSourceCredentials myCredential = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.DataSourceCredentials();

myCredential.UserId = "myuserid";

myCredential.Password = "mypassword";

ReportDataSourceInfoCollection reportdatasourcecollection = this.reportViewer1.ServerReport.GetDataSources();

DataSourceCredentials[] myCredentials=null;

if (reportdatasourcecollection.Count > 0)

{

myCredentials = newDataSourceCredentials[reportdatasourcecollection.Count];

}

for (int iIndex = 0; iIndex < reportdatasourcecollection.Count; iIndex++)

{

ReportDataSourceInfo datasourceinfo = reportdatasourcecollection[iIndex];

myCredential.Name = datasourceinfo.Name;

myCredentials[iIndex] = myCredential;

}

this.reportViewer1.ServerReport.SetDataSourceCredentials( myCredentials );

Hi,

I am facing the same problem.

I used ReportDataSourceInfo then it gives error that DataSource doesnt support it. Error of rsdatasource

So what should be the Connection Methods in Shared DataSource?

Credentials in Reporting Services?

I have created several reports in SQL Server 2005 reporting services and I am viewing those reports in my C# application using a report viewer control. I want to pass the credentials for each report through my applications. I do not want to use any web service.

Is it possible?

Any help will be appreciated!!!

TIA

YOu can use the URL Parameters to pass the username and the password, look in the BOL for more information, the syntax for that is:

prefix:datasourcename=value

as the prefix is dsu (for user) or dsp (for password)

Credentials in Data Sources are getting locked out of SQL

Weird one this....

Created a report. Set up a new datasource. Using credentials securely stored in server. Set up a local user on the SQL Server specifically to reference through this datasource.

Go to reportserver, run the report, and it runs fine. Run it a couple more times, runs fine. Then, all of a sudden, it fails, with the error message

The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070775)

This is very strange. I check the account on SQL, and it's still enabled. As it's not a domain account, it hasn't been disabled on the domain. I'm not even familiar with the phrase 'locked out'. After a bit of checking I find out about maxInvalidPasswordAttempts, whereby ASP 'locks out' accounts after 'n' wrong password attempts.

Firstly, I'm not entering the password wrong. It's correctly entered, and stored in the report server.

Secondly, where the heck does RS get off locking out accounts without my permission?

I have no idea how to unlock these accounts.

If I go ahead and create another account on the SQL, exactly the same thing happens. I can reproduce this at will. It works the first couple of times, then bang, 'locked out' again.

Anyone got any ideas on how to modify this behavoir?I am getting the same error, all of a sudden, does anyone have a clue how to fix this?|||I am having the same problem. Does anyone know if this is a SP2 problem? Please help!

|||Hi
How did you create a user to access the database and this user is not a domain user? If this user is not a sql login user then the OS will lock ou the user and thus the dB lockout. If the user is a non domain user then the OS is trying netuse the account and this will definately lock it out.

I've solved part of my troubles. I had set up a shared schedule and accidentally was using the default recurrance pattern to start every 10 minutes. This can happen very easily, as when you go to test something you might want to run it once. So... you create a new shared schedule (so you don't end up running everything on your production shared schedule). I don't know why the default is set to this recurrance pattern instead of once. Anyway... I was having the same problem as Sam Loud, but it was not caused by what I was currently doing. It was caused by this recurring "thing" that was running with the wrong password.

Another "Thing" that caused this problem is when I tried to use shared data sources. As far as I can tell, you cannot use shared data sources when trying to use subscriptions to fileshare. I think this is a bug with reportserver. The first time it runs, it will run successfully. The second time it runs, you will get the RSLogonFailed. I don't know any way around this problem other than to just not use shared data sources.

The other thing that has caused me problems is that when I modify a report and deploy it, make sure not to overwrite the datasource (note: this is the default setting in IIS). If you overwrite the datasource, then the userid and password that you set up on the datasource on the server gets wiped out and everything bombs out on logon and again you have a lockout situation.

I am still having some lockouts and still working on this problem. If anyone else can let me know what their experiences are that would be very helpful. I am using subscriptions to fileshare with about 200 reports running on various schedules. Thanks!

If I go ahead and create another account on the SQL, exactly the same thing happens. I can reproduce this at will. It works the first couple of times, then bang, 'locked out' again.

Anyone got any ideas on how to modify this behavoir?

How did you create a user to access the database and this user is not a domain user? If this user is not a sql login user then the OS will lock ou the user and thus the dB lockout. If the user is a non domain user then the OS is trying netuse the account and this will definately lock it out.

I've solved part of my troubles. I had set up a shared schedule and accidentally was using the default recurrance pattern to start every 10 minutes. This can happen very easily, as when you go to test something you might want to run it once. So... you create a new shared schedule (so you don't end up running everything on your production shared schedule). I don't know why the default is set to this recurrance pattern instead of once. Anyway... I was having the same problem as Sam Loud, but it was not caused by what I was currently doing. It was caused by this recurring "thing" that was running with the wrong password.

Another "Thing" that caused this problem is when I tried to use shared data sources. As far as I can tell, you cannot use shared data sources when trying to use subscriptions to fileshare. I think this is a bug with reportserver. The first time it runs, it will run successfully. The second time it runs, you will get the RSLogonFailed. I don't know any way around this problem other than to just not use shared data sources.

The other thing that has caused me problems is that when I modify a report and deploy it, make sure not to overwrite the datasource (note: this is the default setting in IIS). If you overwrite the datasource, then the userid and password that you set up on the datasource on the server gets wiped out and everything bombs out on logon and again you have a lockout situation.

I am still having some lockouts and still working on this problem. If anyone else can let me know what their experiences are that would be very helpful. I am using subscriptions to fileshare with about 200 reports running on various schedules. Thanks!

The final (and most difficult to resolve) problem that was causing the "logon Failed" and then account lockout problem(s) was related to the windows account that expired (it was set up to expire in 90 days). Since I used this userid when setting up my report subscriptions, all of my subscriptions failed with invalid login and then the account was locked out. When the account userid was reactivated in WINDOWS with the same password, still all of the subscriptions failed on login. This was very frustrating because the main report services account was getting locked every day and nobody could get to the report server and all the report jobs were failing. I tried going into each report subscription and retyping the userid and password (which were valid), but I still got the invalid login. After 3 weeks of frustration and trying different things, I have discovered that what you have to do is 1) go in to the subscription general screen and change the userid and password to something invalid and totally different 2) go out of the subscription general screen (to save your changes) and 3) go back into the subscription general screen and re-type the correct userid and password. This resolved all of my login and lockout problems with the subscriptions and writing to datashare. I hope that this helps anyone else out there who might be struggling with this same issue/problem with reportserver and subscriptions. It is obviously a bug.

Credentials in Data Sources are getting locked out of SQL

Weird one this....

Created a report. Set up a new datasource. Using credentials securely stored in server. Set up a local user on the SQL Server specifically to reference through this datasource.

Go to reportserver, run the report, and it runs fine. Run it a couple more times, runs fine. Then, all of a sudden, it fails, with the error message

The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070775) This is very strange. I check the account on SQL, and it's still enabled. As it's not a domain account, it hasn't been disabled on the domain. I'm not even familiar with the phrase 'locked out'. After a bit of checking I find out about maxInvalidPasswordAttempts, whereby ASP 'locks out' accounts after 'n' wrong password attempts.

Firstly, I'm not entering the password wrong. It's correctly entered, and stored in the report server.

Secondly, where the heck does RS get off locking out accounts without my permission?

I have no idea how to unlock these accounts.

If I go ahead and create another account on the SQL, exactly the same thing happens. I can reproduce this at will. It works the first couple of times, then bang, 'locked out' again.

Credentials for Data Sources - Changing Authentication

I have Visual Studio installed on my local laptop, as well as on the report server. The only place reporting services is installed is on the report server.

I have a solution called “Performance Monitoring”, and within that solution is a report of the same name. That report uses 2 data sets, “DSOne” and “DSTwo” and these data sets are pulled from 2 shared data sources. I can edit the report locally and preview it just fine and the results are what we’re looking for.

Right now, the data sources are all set to Windows authentication. We would like to tie the data sources to a specific user ID and password, so that I or anybody else is able to view the report without having to have a separate login for all those people. I have tried changing the data sources' properties in Visual Studio to reflect using a specific login/pass (my own). I have tried this in Report Manager too – editing the data sources there to use my login and pass. Both of these methods have not worked.

In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer, I double click on one of the data sources and go to the credentials tab. “Use Windows Authentication” is checked, so I check “use a specific user name and password” instead and then enter my login and password. When I try to preview the report, it gives me the following error and I am stumped as to why this is:

“An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source “DSTwo”. Login failed for user “xxx”.”

I have also tried editing the login and password through the “edit” button on the “general” tab of whatever data source I’m working with. The “Use Windows NT Integrated Security” box is checked, so I check the “Use a Specific Name and Password” box and again, type in my login info. When I hit “Test Connection”, I get the following:

“Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login failed for user ‘xxx.”

Hopefully this provided enough detail as to what the heck is going on here. I’ve been playing with these processes for a few days and for whatever reason, it is not working. I’m hoping somebody may have some insight as to why this is.

Thanks,
Matt

If you're using stored windows credentials, you need to check the "use as windows credentials" checkbox on the data source properties page.
