Is this a bug?

RS 2005 (SQL 2005 SP1).

When you edit the ASP.Net tab (in IIS) for the ReportServer folder and change the Authentication Mode from Windows to None the Report Server will bomb out. Trying to open th ereportserver returns "Report Server is not responding, verify the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer".

Changing it back to "Windows" makes no difference, even re-starting the Reporting Service and IIS makes no difference, the report server will not respond.

Can some one test this?

I ended up having to re-install RS 2005....!!

What does the venet log / the logs in the log directory tell you ?

|||Is the report service running after that bug ? What does the reportserver log tell you ? Are there any event log entries ? It would be helpful to have all event log (at leat the last entries) to identify the bug.

Yes the report service was running after this.

Did you try to replicate the problem (on a test machine of course)....

Hey, niallhannon,

I have read some of your posting and found out that you had most of the problems with the report service I have now, I wonder if you have set up the sample reports from Microsoft.

I am setting up the sample report on the testing server and I have problems with deploying to the http://myserver/reportserver and it gave the the following error, see if you can provide some tips to me:

A connection could not be made to the report server http://10.128.64.223/reportserver.

Is there any disadvantage to running a SQL Server in Windows Authentication mode only?

Gurus,
Is there any disadvantage to running a SQL Server in Windows Authentication
mode only?
--
SpinI actually prefer to run in Windows Only mode. I do switch down to mixed mode when I have to, though
(typically some darn app that doesn't support Windows login or Windows login cannot be used because
of firewall/domain reasons).

Thanks TIbor. What makes you prefer to run in Windows Only mode?|||> Thanks TIbor. What makes you prefer to run in Windows Only mode?
One more set of accounts that cannot be used. I.e., even though SQL logins can exist when SQL Server
run in Windows Only mode, nobody can login using a SQL Server login. And since we've only recently
have the ability to specify password aging, complexity rules etc for SQL logins, I prefer if it
isn't possible to login at all using SQL logins - if the surroindings allow this.
Just imagne the nimber if times I've heard, when consuting "Yo! You have the password to sa?". ;-)

But what in bellow situation:
Two active directory domains CompanyA.local (NetworkA) and CompanyB.local
(NetworkB).
NetworkA and NetworkB connected by VPN.
NetworkA:
srvsql.CompanyA.local
NetworkB:
srvsql.CompanyB.local
All ports open between srvsql.CompanyA.local and srvsql.CompanyB.local, no
firewall.
I have DOMAIN ADMIN account on each domain CompanyA\me, CompanyB\me,
unfortunately I can't connect to srvsql.CompanyB.local from
srvsql.CompanyA.local by WindowsAuthentication, I'm using SQl Logins and this
works.
How use WindowsAuthentication in this situation, where is the problem?

anxcomp|||I can think of one, because I have been limited by it before: consultants
cannot connect to the database with their laptop's, which in my case has 10+
years of acquired tools, scripts and knowledge stored on it. And no, I will
not ever connect my laptop up to another's domain.
