I am having an issue embedding my report into an aspx page.

Here’s my setup:
1 Server running SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services
1 Workstation running XP and VS 2005
The server is not on a domain.
Reporting Services is a default installation.

I have one report called TestMe in a folder called TestReports using a shared datasource.

If I view the report in Report Manager, it renders fine. If I view the report using the http ://myserver/reportserver url it renders fine. If I view the report using the http ://myserver/reportserver?/TestReports/TestMe it renders fine. If I try to view the report using http ://myserver/reportserver/TestReports/TestMe, it just goes to the folder navigation page of the home directory.

My web application is impersonating somebody specific to get around the server not being on a domain. When I call the report from the report viewer using http ://myserver/reportserver as the server and /TestReports/TestMe as the path I get this error:

For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method.

When I change the server to http ://myserver/reportserver? I get this error when I run the report:

Client found response content type of ”, but expected ‘text/xml’. The request failed with an empty response.

I have been searching for a while and haven’t found anything that fixes my issue. Please let me know if there is more information needed.

Thanks in advance,
Kendra

    There are two virtual directories of interest with SSRS.

    http://myserver/reportserver is where the web services are.
    http://myserver/reports is where the Report Manager interface is.

    http ://myserver/reportserver?/TestReports/TestMe works because you’re going to the web services and passing in a parameter of the ‘address’ of the report you want. Notice the ? in there, indicating that the rest is a querystring parameter

    http ://myserver/reportserver/TestReports/TestMe is trying to go a subdirectory of the virtual directory, which doesn’t really exist.

    To get your system working using anonymous access, you’ll need to tell IIS to be running your website’s application pool as a known user, which has sufficient permission to view the report. You can set this up in Report Manager (http://myserver/reports).

    See how you go – good luck.
