Hi Luke Hayler,

I have the problem that you seen. Have you fix that error?. How do you do to ignore “Authentication Required” dialog window?

Thanks.

Use “Network Service” as the service identity for the Report Server web service.

Then in IIS go to the “Directory Security” tab in the properties window of both ReportServer and Report(Virtual Directories) and enable the Anonymous Access.

This worked for me.

I hadn’t checked IIS as I managed to sort it out. However, I’m sure other readers may find they need to. Thanks for the tip!

Luke did you check the default website settings on your IIS server? If its not the SSRS website then the http://localhost/reports may be affected. I’m not an IIS guru so may be off track here (certainly out of my depth!) but its worth a try. Thanks for the links though, may prove useful in the future.

Cheers
