sql server reporting services: I want to stream HTML reports through another application server that
handles authentication, effectively hiding the reporting server from the end
user. I am running into a problem with embedded images. When the client
receives the HTML stream, the browser resolves the image tags and requests
the images from the reporting server. Since there is no established session
for the client, these requests fail.
Is there a way to "transfer" the session to the client, say by appending a
session parameter to the image URLs?
Alternatively, can the StreamRoot parameter be of help if there are
RS-generated images such as charts?

Thanks,
Christian

Christian,

There are several approaches available depending on your reporting
requirements and type of reporting (intranet or Internet, WinForm or
web-based). I good "universal" approach is to use StreamRoot to dereference
the image path to a custom server-side page so it takes care of deleting the
image once it is rendered.

For more information see the following thread:

Hope this helps.
