ReportViewer (ASP.NET) and Forms Authentication

I have successfully implemented forms authentication in RS. It works great to navigate to https://myserver/Reports. I get redirected to the login-page etc. It also works great to use the ReportViewer from within my WinForms app, using the

reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.SetFormsCredentials

method. I'm also able to communicate with RS through it's web services by first calling the 'LogonUser' method. However, to get that to work I had to inherit the ReportExecutionService for the cookie-handling to work.

Now over to my problem (the only thing so far I haven't got working). I'm trying to use a ReportViewer on an ASP.net web page to access the reports. I have understood that 'SetFormsCredentials' is not avaliable here. Instead, as far as I have understood, I should implement my own IReportServerCredentials . The critical method there I guess is

GetFormsCredentials(out Cookie authCookie, out string formsUser, out string formsPassword, out string formsAuthority)

, am I right?

It's here my problem starts. The examples I have seen haven't implemented this method since they use other types of authentication. So, I would need an example of what to fill that method with...

Is there at least some documentation where I can read about this...?

(Can't find any examples on it...)

After some more testing, I'm now able to render a report. This is possible if I implement the method like this:

public bool GetFormsCredentials(out Cookie authCookie, out string user, out string password, out string authority)

{

authCookie = null;

user = "validUser";

password = "validPassword";

authority = "";

return true;

}

But from what I can understand this method should be returning a cookie...

And I have done testings with the method described here: http://blogs.msdn.com/bimusings/archive/2005/11/04/489100.aspx, but if I return something else then null as cookie-Value, I get an exception like this:

Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.....

So, if I return null as cookie-value I'm able to render the report, but I run into trouble when clicking on a link in the report that navigates to another report. The report isn't rendered, instead the message

Execution 'lvzt54q0lq1nrbjjmmubr02b' cannot be found
is shown.

Any kind of help here would be of great value!
