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:
The Report Server has encountered a configuration error; more details in the
log files, Could not load Authorization extension;

I'll second that, and also throw in the call stack that makes it back to
UILogon.aspx:

at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.AuthenticationExtensionFactory.get_AuthenticationExtension()
at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.UserUtil.GetUserNameFromExtension()
at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.UserUtil.GetCurrentUserName()
at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.Global.ShouldRejectAntiDos()
at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.Global.Application_AuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)"

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.

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.
