Authentication mode="none"

Has anyone gotten this to work?
I keep getting the following errors
w3wp!library!930!11/02/2004-14:43:34:: e ERROR: Throwing
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ServerConfigurationErrorException:

at

Strangely, this says the error was thrown by get_AuthenticationExtension,
but the logged error is that the Authorization extension could not be loaded.
Anyone with any ideas on where to look to nail down the specifics of why
this is failing?

dont know if it helps but
for my deal i ended up doing something weird:
I set 2 virtuals. "ReportServer" (as per install), and a new one
"ReportsWeb", restricting ReportServer to only localhost (so the admin tools
still work) and setting ReportsWeb with IUSR browser role. This worked for
what i needed.
I've written a FAQ on this if any one is interested.|||Lagalot,
Well, it doesn't help, but that's not your fault. We were getting the same
error for the same underlying reason, but while trying to do very different
things.
The error arises because (apparently) RS requires a match between the
Authentication mode name in web.config and the Authentication Extension Name
in RSReportServer.config. You got the error because you changed the mode in
an effort to disable authentication entirely. I got the error because I
thought I could be creative and name my Authentication Extension something
other than "Forms."
So, FWIW, problem (sort of) solved.

Authentication errors after backing out changes for forms authentication

We attempted to run the custom authentication sample from the RS
samples. We had issues and attempted to "back out" our changes - being
stupid, we didn't back up our config files. "How hard could it be?"
Well, 8 hours later, we're out of answers as to why we can't run RS
anymore. Yes, learn from our mistake.
We're hoping someone can help us with the following.
When going to http://localhost/Reports, I get the following:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to
process request. --> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference
not set to an instance of an object. at

When going to http://localhost/ReportServer, I get a 404.
The log file ReportServerWebApp__01_17_2006_15_33_40 contains the

I confirmed that the rsreportserver.config section that deals with
security/authentication looks as follows - this matches another server
whose RS is working:
<Security>
<Extension Name="Windows"
Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Authorization.WindowsAuthorization,Microsoft.ReportingServices.Authorization"/>
</Security>
<Authentication>
<Extension Name="Windows"
Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Authentication.WindowsAuthentication,Microsoft.ReportingServices.Authorization"/>
</Authentication>
And the web.configs in both ReportManager and ReportServer folders
reference the correct authentication extension:
Report Manager web.config:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" />
Report Server web.config:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" />
At this point, I'm considering spinning up a second instance of RS to
see if there's something more basic broken, but I thought I would ask
for any help/pointers on this.
Thank you!
MichaelSJust a followup, in case a search finds this topic. We never did solve
the problem. We ended up completely removing SQL/RS and reinstalling.
Our suspicion is that something was inadvertently deleted. Since this
was a dev box, it's assumed that a trashing every so often is
acceptable.
MS|||In our case, the pieces that disappeared were three files from
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.4\Reporting
Services\ReportServer. Specifically:
global.asax, ModelGenerationRules.smgl, and ReportExecution2005.asmx.
Replacing those files (from a working installation) solved the problem.

Just as a followup, in case someone else searches for this problem and finds my post - we never solved it. We recovered the config files to what they were supposed to be, but things never still worked. We now believe that we somehow deleted a file(s) - given the error message, that seems plausible. We ended up having to completely removed SQL Server and RS from our system, physically deleting the MSSQL and MSSQLRS directories and reinstalling. This time, we backed everything up before working on it and of course, it worked.

Authentication Error with HTTP EndPoints

I keep getting these errors when I try to access an
endpoint I created. I have double checked and it is setup
for integrated authentication, grant connect has been
done on the account I am trying to access as and I still
get this error.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Hi Jim,
Could you please post the exact steps you performed to create the HTTP
EndPoints and the URL you used to connect to the SQL Server? This will help
us get a clear picture of the problem.
You may want to refer to the SQLXML chapter and sub-chapters in MSDN for
more information:

AttachDBfilename

I was getting SQL Server errors trying to run the Time Tracker kit, soI tried to establish a connection with the timetracker.mdf from the
VWD Database Explorer - but no luck:

Data Source: Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient)

Database File name: Visual Studio2005\WebSites\TimeTracker1\App_Data\TimeTracker.mdf

Using either Windows or SQLServer authentication, they both fail when I test the connection.

Any ideas ? I gave myself and the ASPNET account every permission possible in SQLServer.Create a connection from a datasource control to test it or add a connection in VWD in server explorer ( i hope they have that hehe I use VS.NET 2005 pro ). Test the connection until it works. I had to play with it until I got it to work but I had the same problem. Make sure you are saying that you want a user instantce. First make a connection to your db and make sure that works. Then try to attach with the db.
