Reporting Services

Authentication via internet explorer fails when connecting to reporting
services from a hostname other then the NETBIOS name.
for example my servers name is BOB
so if i do http://bob/ReportServer it works fine
I have an A record that points reportingservices.mydomain.com to BOB's ip
address
so if i go to http://reportingservices.mydomain.com/ReportServer I get the
user credentials box. How can I fix this?On Mar 2, 9:06 pm, Nick T <N...@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

It seems like you should check the authentication methods of the
virtual directory pointed to in IIS for http://reportingservices.mydomain.com/ReportServer.
Hope this helps.

I think this situation depends on security settings in IE.
Try to add http://reportingservices.mydomain.com/ website to your trusted
websites.
If still you 'll be prompted for login and password check security settings
in IE (for trusted sites).
Ensure that you have checked the last option for logging user (logging with
current user name and password).
I hope this will help.
