Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Reporting Services Login Box always prompting when deploying my report RE: Reporting Services Login Box always prompting when deploying my report

  • have you checked the properties of the data source once its been deployed to the report server? For comparison, on the report server, I have the following set up for a typical datasource:

    - "Name" : name of datasource

    - "enable this data source": is checked

    - "connection type": MS SQL Server

    - "connection string": Data Source= name of SQL server

    Catalog = name of database

    - "Credentials stored securely in the report server" (radio button):

    User name = SQL Username or 'sa'

    Password = password for the above

    everything else is blank / not filled in / not checked

    I don't use windows authentication when setting up the data source, I usually create a SQL Login/user with db_datareader permission on the database. This user is created specifically for running reports on the database. Alternatively, try using 'sa'

    Hope this helps - not sure what else to suggest - maybe someone with more experience will have some advice on what else to check
