Passing authentication from PHP to reporting services

[andrewdmason]

Hello,

My boss wants me to create a front end webpage for our Reporting
Services reports that customers can log onto through a webform. I'm a
PHP programmer, so I'd rather do this site and the authentication in
PHP than learn .NET. The main problem I see is finding a way to pass
the authentication to Reporting Services so that when a user runs a
report, they are not asked to enter their password a second time.

I don't even know where to start researching this problem... I've asked
in PHP forums and they passed me to you guys. Any ideas?

Andrew

If no one knows the answer to this, does anyone know a better place
that I could ask this question?

That would be microsoft.public.sqlserver.repotingsvcs.

If your local newserver does not carry it, it's available at
msnews.microsoft.com.

Setup anonymous authentication (instead of NT Challenge Response, the
default) for MS Reporting services and diallow all connections besides
the PHP server and then you don't have to worry about authentication at
all.
