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 :-)
