How to access SSRS out of network

  • Hi All,

    I and new to SSRS and have Installed and configured a Reporting Service in my client (Its working in my network and users can access it).

    I want to test it at first to find out if the users can access to my reports via Internet?(because the final server which is going to host the Reporting Service is not in our network).

    That is why I want to set it up in my client to check internet access for users.

    I searched a lot but couldn’t find a total solution for it.

    Could anybody please help me to find a solution?

  • Thanks for posting your issue and hopefully someone will answer soon.

    This is an automated bump to increase visibility of your question.

  • You would be best writing a client website which does this for you and is accessible via the internet and has the proper authentication methods in place.

     

    Making SSRS internet faceable will mean you having to resort to anonymous or forms based authentication which is a big security risk as the whole server can be compromised in a split second.

     

    SSRS should be used internally only.

     

    If you want external reports I would look at something more robust and build on Azure AD like PowerBI and PowerBI report server, SSRS is definitely not the tool for external reporting
