Update the RSReportServer.config file so that VCM can authenticate users who use the VCM Web
console, and users can launch SSRS reports. To configure Basic authentication on the report server, edit the
XML elements and values in the RSReportServer.config file.
Procedure
1. On the Windows machine where you installed SSRS, locate the rsreportserver.config file.
The default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
ServerReportingServicesInstance\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config.
2. Stop the SSRS service.
3. Open the rsreportserver.config file for editing.
4. In the file, locate the <AuthenticationTypes> block.
The block resembles the following example.
<Authentication>
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsNegotiate/>
<RSWindowsNTLM/>
</AuthenticationTypes>
...
</Authentication>
5. Remove any existing parameters and add the <RSWindowsBasic/> parameter to the
<AuthenticationTypes> XML element.
The modified block resembles the following block.
<Authentication>
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsBasic/>
</AuthenticationTypes>
...
</Authentication>
6. Save the configuration file.
7. Start the SSRS service.
