Reporting Services through IIS

  • Hi everyone

    I am configuring a solution at the moment an would like some guidance on the easiest and best way to accomplish it.

    I have a SQL server box running 2014 reporting services. I have another server running IIS v8.

    I would like to be able to connect to the IIS site and be given the SSRS report browser.

    So externally if I browse to http://www.myreports.com, I am presented with the report server interface, the same as if I browse to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/reports internally.

    What are my options?

    Thanks in advance!:-D

  • on the SSRS instance properties you will need to enable host headers resolution.

    IIS does not and indeed should not be used to manage SSRS instances, the configuration settings are all in report manager configuration.

  • Hi Perry,

    Thanks for the reply. I dont want to manage SSRS through IIS. I want to have my report server running as it is currently internally. I just want to present its contents on the IIS web page externally. Is this possible or would I have to install SSRS on the server currently running IIS and configure host headers resolution for external access? I do not want to configure direct external access on the current SSRS /SQL server. I would like it to be through the IIS server.

    Thanks again:-D

  • all site management is performed through Reporting Services Configuration manager. You'll need to setup appropriate dns entries and then apply the host header values on the virtual directory config in reporting services configuration manager

  • As of 2008 R2 you don't need IIS to do that
