Errors with SRS in Sharepoint Integration Mode

Hi Everyone,

Our project has two servers. One server is running WSS 3.0 and the SQL Reporting Services web front-end. We have a second server that operates all the databases involved (WSS Content, SRS, and our application specific DB).

We do not have a domain controller in our architecture. The WSS site is configured to use SQL authentication to connnect and modify the WSS Content database. We installed SRS, SRS service pack 2, and the Sharepoint add-in. We are using forms authentication for our WSS site. We would like to use SRS in Sharepoint Integration mode, but we are unable to create datasources, view reports, etc. SRS is configured to use the "Trusted Account" in WSS Central Admin.

When we attempt to create a new datasource, and we received an error stating the object moved and to check that SRS is in Sharepoint integration mode.

When we attempt to view a report, we get an error stating:

"An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode."

I have a feeling this has to do with the Windows Service Account and the Web Service Identity for SRS. What type of account should we use since we do not have a domain?

Thank you,

Michael milazzo

As explained here, in Trusted Account mode, WSS sends the requests to the Report Server under the identity of the SharePoint application. By default, the IIS 6.0 application pool runs under NT AUTHORITY\Network Service. Since you don't have a domain setup, try changing the application domain identity to a local Windows user account which has the same name and password as a privileged account on the Report Server that has access to the report catalog. If you had domain setup, the request could have gone under Domain\WSS machine name$ and you could have granted access to that account.
