Login prompt when deploying from BIDS to Sharepoint

  • Hi,

    When trying to deploy a data source & model from BIDS to our Sharepoint site, I am now confronted with a 'Reporting Services Login' box. I have spent nearly two days trying to find a way to solve the problem, but to no avail. Our setup was working just fine until a week or so ago.

    Setup is as follows:

    Sharepoint & SQL Server 2005 are installed on the same server. I followed the instructions in the following document to set up everything initially, the only difference being that I used one domain account for both services in reporting services configuration rather than two separate ones. The account used is a domain administrator, and is also added to the local administrator group. > http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/attachment/4194088.ashx

    Everything appears to work exactly as it should, bar the fact that I can't seem to deploy to the Sharepoint site. I have read countless articles about fixes for other users, including some on this site, but nothing has worked.

    Things I have tried/checked:

    Deployment URLs - These are correct, and were working fine until recently.

    Blocked file types on Sharepoint

    IIS authentication/directory security

    Virtual directory setup

    Account used to run Report Service

    Web.config file of Sharepoint installation

    Re-installation of Reporting Services, SQL Server 2005 SP2 & Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint

    Re-installation of Reporting Services, installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3 & Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint (SP3 version)

    I am at my wits end with this problem. Is there anyone out there who can shed some light on it, or who has any suggestions as to what I can do now?

    Many thanks

    Ash

  • The solution is in here check your web.config and edit it so the prompt will go away.

  • Thanks for the reply, however as stated in my original post I have already tried that.

    Anyone else have any other ideas? 🙁

  • 6. Edit the Web.config file and ensure that there is only one instance of the following XML element structure:

    No you did not you said installed Web.Config that article said edit and make sure only one authorization element is in your Web.Config.

    The other is to run aspnet_regiis in your C drive.

    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

  • I did not say I installed the web.config file, it would be there already as part of the installation anyway. I said I have tried/checked the following items and listed it as one of them. By checking it I mean that I have made sure it contains only one instance of the stated element, as this is one of the most common responses to this query I have found on the internet. Therefore it can be ruled out.

    I have also tried aspnet_regiis, but no joy.

  • It may be related to the identity of SSRS application so you need to create new account for SSRS or use Network Service for SSRS.

    If you are in IIS 6 you may to remove it and add it again this time click on details to enable all the features needed to run Asp.net.
