I want to configure Reporting Services 2008 to use a custom defined username and password for access. I read that I must set reporting services to do basic authentication : 

<AuthenticationTypes> <RSWindowsBasic/> </AuthenticationTypes>

But I didn't find specified a location where I might create usernames and passwords.

Edit:

Reporting Services 2008 uthenticates against the Local Security Authority (LSA). Anything the LSA can authenticate against can be a credential source, but "out of the box" you're talking about local user accounts on the server computer itself, domain user accounts in the domain the server is a member of, and, if there are any, accounts in trusted domains (or trusted Kerberos realms).

(Thanks, MattB, for pointing out that Reporting Servers 2008 doesn't use IIS anymore.)

  • is correct except for one thing - by default Reporting Services 2008 does not use IIS - it handles authentication internally. This is a change from previous versions of RS. Commented May 13, 2010 at 15:18
  • @MattB: Yikes! That shows me for commenting when not having actually used Reporting Services 2008... Commented May 13, 2010 at 15:44
