| How is it possible for others to browse to my localmachine and view the reports?They tried browsing to http://machinename/reportsand http://10.1.3.123/reportsBut the message the users get is: You are not authorized to view this page.Then In my localmachine, I changed the IIS setting for the Reports and ReportServer to allow anonymous access. Then the users were able to see the Home page of the reports but not the reports themselves to click on for viewing. Any thoughts please?Thanks |

Do you realize no one is answering any of your messages? Do you know why ? Its because you keep creating new threads with pretty much the same topic, you cant see reports on the local machine...So first off stop duplicating posts. Secondly, you need to grab a good book on reporting services as their is an entire layer of security you are not even looking into.Besides IIS, Reporting Services uses either Windows Authentication or Forms Authentication. By default it uses windows authentication. That means, you need to add specific groups / users into the security settings of the report manager.Enabling anon access is poor practice and a security vulnerability. I would advise you to disable anon access and modify the report server security settings by adding specific Windows User groups.You can find these settings in the Security Site Settings of the RS home page. There you can then configure site wide security settings or item level role definitions. Doing a simple search on reporting services security yields 100s if not 1000s of results.Good luck,Jon
