We have an asp application that is linking to a SRS report via a url. We are
using basic authentication, and need to know how we can pass the credentials
without the user having to actually sign in? Is this possible? It is
classic asp, not .net.
Hello Lauren,
By default, if using Windows or basic auenthtication, ASP handler
impersontes the user authenticated to run. Therefore, you could implement
the SRS URL access code directly in ASP page, which actually runs as the
client/authenticated user.
If you want to ASP runs as a specified user, you could use "imperontion"
API to achieve this goal, please refer to:

Hope this is helpful.
