    Hi

    I Have a server which is configued with SQL 2005 reporting service.

    Say my url for accessing the report is http://mysite/myreport. Now

    I embed this url in the configuration file (web.config) of my .net application.The security property for the home directory of the report is

    set to everyone (report browser) permission.

    Now the problem is,if anyone knows the url http://mysite/myreport they

    will be able to browse the reports.i dont want that. I only want that the

    the user is able to browse the report links only through the applications.

    So which user i should give permission to if i want only a particular aplication to access the reports. eg If the application is hosted on the

    server MyAppServer, i only want the reports browsable through the MyAppserver website.

    Thanks

    IMO, if you are using VS 2005 and RS 2005 and you do not want people to be able to directly access your reports on the report server you should use the reportviewer control in your ASP.NET application and local reports.
