Implementing custom forms authentication in RS 2000

sql server reporting services: Hi,

I am a trying to implement a custom authentication for RS 2000. To check out
the concept, I had used the sample code from MSDN did all the config changes
as mentioned in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
url=/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/ufairs.asp. The report server piece works
well with that. But whenever I try to run Report Manager it is failing to
authenticate.

In the log file, I can see the following error repeatedly:

spnet_wp!ui!26c!10/5/2005-13:51:35:: e ERROR: HTTP status code --> 500
-------Details--------
CantCommunicateWithReportServerException: Unable to communicate with report
server. Please verify that the report server is operational.

Did anyone face similar issues and came up with a solution.

TIA

Had same error. Check you have edited the right config files. The
documentation int he sample is all over the place, and you jump back
and fore between the ReportServer and ReportManager directories. It is
easy to get lost and make a mistake.

Also check you aren't opening up http://localhost/Reports/ but
http://your_machine_Name/Reports/ instead.
