We have a 3-rd party (like a portal) hosting our SSRS Report Viewer inside an iFrame. The source of the iFrame is an ASP.NET web form page with the Report Viewer control. We pass the credentials to the Report Viewer from the code behind and everything works fine. Reports render in the viewer and the aspx page is running on an HTTPS site.
The report developer placed a hyperlink on a report that opens an non-HTTP url to the Report Sever that is supposed to download an Excel file. But the Report Server is behind a DMZ (actually running as a Windows Service and not IIS) and prompts users for credentials and only downloads the Excel file when the Report Server credentials (same ones used by the Report Viewer) are entered. This sounds like a double-hop issue.
Anybody trying to browse to the URL manually also get a prompt until they are authenticated because the SSRS is not in our domain.
TL;DR;
Is there anyway to pass the credentials of the Report Server from within a hyperlink inside the Report Viewer?
Functions as designed. Reports Developer did not really understand implementation details and found a work around.
I have created a report project in Visual Studio 2013 and deployed a test report to the local reports server (SSRS 2012).
When I preview the report from visual studio it opens well, but when I try opening it from Report Server URL, I can see the report viewer toolbar but once I click "View Report" it shows "Loading" and then a blank page appears.
I then tried to delete the datasource, datasets and delete any report contents and just keep the title, still a blank page is the only thing that appears
Any idea what could be the problem or things i can try ?
It turned out to be a problem in Chrome browser, trying out Internet Explorer worked fine.
Report Builder in SSRS will not open in Chrome, but it will in IE.
Is there any special setup that needs to be done in order to open Report Builder from Chrome?
Google Chrome is not a supported browser for SSRS Report Builder. Only IE, Firefox and Safari are "officially" supported. There have been some who have suggestions for possible workarounds, but I haven't tried any of these.
Update Reporting Services or Repair installation - might be corrupted
Check that Report Builder app actually exists where it is supposed to for ClickOnce install to work.
Try providing a link to access Report Builder directly: /ReportServer/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder.application
More info can found at these links: MSDN Forums, MSDN Docs & TechNet Forums
Install IE Tab (or similar) extension for Chrome. The extension uses the Internet Explorer engine to render pages in a Chrome tab.
It's also a good way to work around some of the CSS issues you'll see in Chrome with the Report Manager application.
I deployed reports in my local machine.
My problem is When i opened the reports in google chrome Report in not displayed.
Can any one help me Why its not opened in Google Chrome?
Appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
Are you using Report Manager (Native mode)? If so, Report Manager supports IE only:
if you refer to this link
what you describe sounds like a known issue when using WebKit browsers (Chrome) with Report Manager.
Reference:
SQL 2008 Report Not Showing in Google Chrome.
I don't want to open Report Builder from Report Manager. I want to embed Report Builder into my forms. Is there any way?
This is a very old topic, but I want to post a correct answer since it's one of the first results when searching for "Report Builder".
Simply add a WebBrowser control to your form and on Form_Load, navigate to the URL of the Reporting Services server. You'll have a no-frills "browser" - no back button, no stop, no refresh, but right-clicking on the page will do it.
I do not believe report builder uses anything other than the SSRS API to do its work. You will need to create your own report builder. One way to do this is to play with the microsoft one and monitor the traffic between your browser and the server with HTTPAnalyser or Fiddler. Then you can recreate the same web service calls fom your own app.
Have you had a look at the Report Builder standalone installer? v2.0 was just released in April, so it's possible that you haven't seen it. You can find it here.
I don't think it is possible to do this, given that the Report Builder 2.0 is a standalone application
What you could do however is create a shared data source on the server, and avail the link to the setup file for the installer in your application. Users can then connect to the data source and depending on their skill, create their own reports.
You may be able to subscribe to the appropriate service and build out a front end to talk to the service.
SQL Reporting Services is more of a server based reporting solution. If my embedding into your forms you mean that you want the end user to build reports from inside your application I suggest you look at a third-party tool to do this. I use Developer Express controls and they have a strong and reasonably priced solution for this. The product page is here.
I think it is easy.
You can drag Microsoft.ReportViewer control from toolbox to your webform in studio 2008.
Then you can open report builder to initialize your report.
At the end, that report can be viewed and exported when you run your report.
You should be able to create a hyperlink in your app to startup the click once Report Builder app. But it won't run within your form.
