Reports Security--Windows authnetication

Hi,
I have created a user and a link in our website which links to the report.
Now whenever anyone clicks the button to view the report,a prompt comes up
for Uers name & password. But if wrong password id enterd it shows Reporting
services error-- The permissions granted to the user are insufficient . See
rsOnline for help." Till yesterday, when the person entered a wrong user
name & password. It would prompt the user name & password again & again and
after 3-4 time it would take you to the page... "You are not authoized to
view the page..Plz click the refresh button..."
I tdont want the users to see any reporting svcs error but this general
error : "You are not authoized to view the page..Plz click the refresh
button..." > I think its related to IIS.
How to get over this?

pmudI hope you are using Form Authentication example from Microsoft site. All you
have to do is edit the UILogon.aspx page. You have to redirect to the page
where you say that user credential is invalid to see the report.

ReportParameter.ValidValues

I have been assigned to create a new report subscription form. I have
done everything but prompt the user for values. So there are a bunch
of reports with varied parameters. Some of these parameters are
hard-coded lists and others are DataSetReference. How do I provide the
subscriber with an accurate list of valid values?
I was thinking something like:
ReportParameters[0].reportParameter.ValidValues
but that comes back null.
I tried reportService.GetReportParameters(report, historyID,
forRendering, values, credentials)
Values comes back null.
Please help!
Thank you!
--Larry--"values" in GetReportParameters is used to validate parameter values.
Actual parameters are returned by GetReportParameters.
You can try something like this:
ReportParameter [ ] rp = reportService.GetReportParameters(report,
forRendering, historyID, null, credentials);
rp[0].ValidValues should contain valid values.

>|||Thank you, but that didn't work,
The ValidValues is <undefined value>
I used the following code:
ValidValue[] vv = new ValidValue[0];
parameters = server.GetReportParameters(thisfolder, null, false,
Paramvalues, Paramcredentials);
if (parameters.Length != 0)
{
vv = parameters[0].ValidValues;
}
when I look at parameter[0] (and 1 as well) I have ValidValues
<undefined value>
CalidValuesQueryBased = true
ValidValuesQueryBasedSpecified = true|||Thank you, but that didn't work,

post:
If ForRendering has a value of false, the parameter meta data returned
represents the parameter data that is currently associated with the
specified report. If any parameters values are based on a query and you
are
interested in returning the query-based parameters valid values list,
you
need to set ForRendering to true, In addition, for query based
parameters,
you need to ensure that you have passed in all of the credential
information
required to return the query parameters.
I set this parm to true and got my values!!
