Authentication Problem x64

Win 2003 Server x64, .Net 2.0 x64 Reporting Services 2005. RS Database is a remote SQL 2005 on the same Domain in the same room. I can only get the report manager to authenticate local users; it will not authenticate Domain users.If I set up a local user and add a New Role Assignment all works OK.I have no problem adding a Domain user to a New Role Assignment, it allows this, but it will not authenticate the user.Adding the Domain user to the Windows Administrators group also has no effect.

Am I missing something simple?

I doubt this has anything to do with the x64-ness of your HW.

When you say "it will not authenticate the user", what exactly do you mean?

If I try to log on to http://mymachine/reports with a local user it will let me on.If I try to log on as a Domain user, it keeps bringing up the logon screen. (Windows Authentication)Both users are set up in a role in RS.

|||It sounds to me like IIS is not recognizing the user. Does that user have permissions on the machine aside from being in the RS role?|||If you are asking about the Domain users, NO. I am expecting it to work like Share Point, where you add the Domain user in the site and give it permissions on the site. Am I assuming wrong?|||

Can you check the IIS logs on the machine for when the domain user tries to connect?

SRS doesn't grant the user any permissions on the box, so if the user did not have a valid account on the machine before, he still won't be able to have access to SRS because IIS will fail the request before it even gets to SRS.

John,

I see the Get entry in the IIS log, no other entries. I see a success audit entry in the Security Log for that user.

If I log on with the the local user, I see the POST entries etc in the IIS log.

Do I need to set up the domain user to have some local rights?

|||I finally wipped the machine clean and started again. Now RS will authenticate a domain user fine.
