sql server reporting services: Ive written a security extension based on microsoft samples, i can call the
SOAP API and get authenticated but i dont know what to do so i can use this
authentication method using URL access, i need that since i want to be able
to keep the toolbar.

Rodrigo,

The typical integration scenario for Forms Autnentication and web-based URL
reporting is:
1. You have a web app which authenticates the user on the server side.
2. The web app calls LogonUser SOAP API.
3. The web app utilizes the Report Viewer or another approach (static
hyperlinks, client-side javascript, etc) to submit URL-based report
requests.

So, once the user is authenticated the we app just needs to submit report
requests on the client side of the application. As long as the
authentication ticket (cookie) is passed successfully, the reports should
render fine subject to aurhorization restrictions.

Hope this helps.

Teo - Is it a requirement of Forms Authentication that the users who are
authenticated to the ASP.NET web app have credentials defined in reporting
services? If not, how can you manage that user's rights?

thanks

No credentials, just security policies in the report catalog. You would
typically use the Report Manager to set up your user security policy just
like you would normally do with Windows authentication.

Please note though that you don't have to register invividual users.
Instead, if it makes sense, you can group users into application-defined
roles outside of the Report Server. Then, in the Report Manager you will set
up security policies based the roles not users for easier maintainance.
Finally, in your CheckAccess overloads you need to take extra steps to find
out which role the user belongs to and authorize the user based on the user
role membership

Does this confuse even more :-)
