Username/Password to access http://localhost/ReportServer/ on Mozilla

  • Hello, I am a newbie to SQL Server n SSRS... I created 2 reports successfully and deployed them. I can access and run the reports on IE at http://localhost/ReportServer/ or http://localhost/ReportS... When i try accessing the same on Mozilla Firefox it is asking me for User name and Password. I never did setup one for Reporting server...

    Additional Information..

    1.Using SQL 2005 Dev Edition

    2.SQL installed on a Single user Computer (Win XP Pro)

    3.Tried using the local Admin and SA UserId and password, but no success

    Please give me some suggestions on how to resolve this issue...

  • My understanding is that IE passes windows authentication information in a way that Mozilla doesn't support at this time. So it will prompt you for your username/pw and then pass those to the system making the request.

  • Aaron,

    Thanks for the reply. Do you have any idea how can i access these reports on Mozilla Firefox. Any idea how can i have Mozilla pass the windows authentication to the report server.

  • Found the solution

    IIS uses Integrated Authentication and by default IE has the ability to use your windows user account...but don't worry, so does Firefox but you'll have to make a quick configuration change.

    1) Open up Firefox and type in about:config as the url

    2) In the Filter Type in ntlm

    3) Double click "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" and type in localhost and hit enter

    I found the solution at
