hi all
i am facing a very commong issue but not able to resolve my problem. i have searched this issue on internet , found possible solutions but i am not able understand that where i am doing wrong.
I have Reporting services installed on one server. when i deployed My Reporting Servies projecct to server and tried to access reports through this URL "http://[server ip address]/reports", it was asking me for User name and Password. i gave Administrator's User ID and Password, it started working. then i tried through "http://localhost/reports", and it was working without asking for authentication.
To get rid of above problem, i went through several articles on internet, below is list of those articles:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365173(SQL.90).aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938245
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159133.aspx

So finally i resloved this issue. now problem is that when some other user from Same domain acssess those reports by giving http://[server ip address]/reports, it again asks for authentication?? please can any body tell me how to get rid of this thing.
Secondly, let say user gives correct UserName ([username]@[domain].com) and password, user is able to open reports. but now when user clicks on "Report Builder" button, it again asks for credentials.which kind of credentials i have to provide at this moment???

can any body help me.

what data source you are using for reports? is it a shared one? what credentials you're using on it?
