5. Confirm the Report Manager URL.
a. In the navigation pane, click Report Manager URL and click Apply to activate the Report Manager
URL.
b. Verify that the virtual directory was created and that the URL was reserved in the Results area.
c. Click the default URL and verify that it opens SQLServer Reporting Services.
6. Click Exit to close SQLServer 2008 R2, 2012, or 2014 Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
What to do next
To authenticate users and client applications against the report server, configure Basic Authentication on
the report server. See "Configure Basic Authentication on the Report Server for Multi-Tier Installations" on
page 85.
Configure Basic Authentication on the Report Server for Multi-Tier Installations
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) provides several options to authenticate users and client applications
against the report server. When you install VCM in a two-tier split installation and use Basic
authentication, you must allow direct access to the Reports virtual directory.
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, stop the SSRS service.
2. Navigate to the rsreportserver.config file.
By default: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\{reporting-services-instance}
\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config
3. Open rsreportserver.config in a text editor.
4. Locate the <AuthenticationTypes> XMLcode.
<Authentication>
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsNegotiate/>
<RSWindowsNTLM/>
</AuthenticationTypes>
...
</Authentication>
5. Replace any existing <AuthenticationTypes> parameters with one <RSWindowsBasic/>
parameter.
<Authentication>
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsBasic/>
</AuthenticationTypes>
...
</Authentication>
6. Save and close rsreportserver.config.
7. Start the SSRS service.
