Each time we go to Report Manger, IE requires us to enter id and
password. It will not save passsword and will not pass Windows
Authentication. I HAVE done the folowing
IIS-Default Website-Reports-Properties -Directory Security - [X]
Integrated WIndows Authentication
Anonymous login is not checked,
The report server IS part of the domain, I am logging on to an app-
server (also in domain) as a domain account user, opening IE and going
to http://rptserver/reports and it is requiring log in credentials
Am I missing something somewhere?

what about ntfs permissions?
what happens if you log onto the workstation you use to access rep server
using a domain admin account?

I logged in to the app-server as mydomain\admin and went to explorer
and then reporting services and it STILL asked for user and password.

What you are seeing is the issue with Windows 2003 advanced IE security. If
you tried this from XP you wouldn't see this problem.
To disable this do the following:
Disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (on Win2k3
member server)

Bruce,
I checked that out on the server and it is NOT enabled
Caution: Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is not
enabled
I still got the log in requirement and I was mydomain\administrator

OK, now comes stupid time....
I just figured out that if I use http://192.168.1.144/reports, it asks
for a user and password everytime.
If I use the server name http://report-serv/reports and I am logged
into domain, it does NOT require authentication.
Why is that?

No idea but interesting. I'll try and remember that the next time someone
has a problem. I tend to use names instead of a sequence of numbers in my
URL <g>

I wish my IE would ask for a username/password!!
I also use http://192.168.1.144/reports but WITHOUT an authentication
challenge. In fact I summarily get "You are not authorized to view this
page"!
Infuriating! How am I supposed to tell the server who I am?
I someone knows the answer, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks,
Gerhard

It should automatically expand what you typed to this but just in case, use
this link:
http://yourserver/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Assuming that makes no difference. It sounds to me like it is working as it
should. You are logged into Windows. Your box knows who you are. It
authenticates with RS and it knows who you are. And whoever you are does not
have rights.
If you use a file server this is the same thing. Accessing folders on the
file server does not prompt you for a username and password. It knows who
you are. Same thing here.
Is your domain account a member of the local administrators group on the box
running RS. By default everyone in that group is an admin for RS and should
be able to see reports. If not, then someone who is needs to add you to a
role in RS.

Bruce,
Thank you for your reply.
I am not on a domain. We have set up the report server with an account
to log on as to view reports. This has always worked!
Upon investigation I've discovered that the RS is not running and it
won't start. I am uncertain what changed, I'm busy investigating now. I
did notice that the server was updated recently (Windows Update). I'll
see if that has anything to do with it.

Solved it. For some reason the web server was configured to allow
anonymous access. Don't ask me how that happened!!
