Question

The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized

Asked by: edi02

It's along story, but I will try make it as short as I can.
RS is installed on the same server with the WebServer. I run this from a
domain network PC:
http://WebServerName/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
and I receive this error:
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
What I checked:
1.On the WebServer go in IIS , then Default Web Site, then Reports, then
Proprieties, then Security and ONLY Integrated Windows Authentication is
checked
2. The save as above for ReportService under Default Web Site
3. Open Windows Explorer on the Web Server and go to C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportServer where
ReportService.asmx file is located. In the same folder have a look in
web.config file and:
    <authentication mode="Windows" />
    <identity impersonate="false" />
4 IIS is version 6
5. Web Server is Windows 2003
6. Bellow is a copy of the RS log file where the error is logged:
w3wp!ui!1860!17/02/2006-13:20:44:: e ERROR: The request failed with HTTP

I tried enabling Anoynomous Access in IIS and then there is no error, but I can see only the Home empty page. No reports at all.

 

by: simon_kirkPosted on 2006-03-09 at 02:30:41ID: 16142911

Report Manager has it's own level of security, you need to add users by going to Properties of the Home folder, and for system access:
Site Settings ->Configure site-wide security
Site Settings ->Configure system-level role definitions

 

by: jacobymattPosted on 2010-03-02 at 09:25:46ID: 27284699

I can't believe that solution was accepted. Sure, Reporting Services has its own optional level of security, but you don't have to view the reports that way. I have not managed any security inside the Report Server, and I am viewing reports inside asp.net pages just fine. It just requires the correct permissions to be set in IIS.
