SSRS 2008 R2 - cannot logon to localhost/reports

Question

When attempting to deploy a SSRS 2008 R2 Report to my localhost/ReportServer, or trying to login to localhost/reportserver (via web browser), I am not able to get any further than a security error message.

When trying to access the report server via a web browser, I'm prompted to enter my login credentials. Even though I am the admin on the box, I still receive the following message:

User 'PCName\Me' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.

I have also tried launching my browser in Administrator Mode - same issue.

When attempting to deploy a report from VS, I get a similar message:

The permissions granted to user 'PCName\Me' are insufficient for performing this operation.

Some assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

"User 'PCName\Me'" sounds like a local logon - have you tried entering your domain logon (including the domain name before the slash - ie. Domain Name \ User Name) and password?

Answer 2

Mark, thanks for the suggestion. I found the answer here where I had to change the report server's authentication type to local.

<Authentication>
      <AuthenticationTypes>
             <RSWindowsBasic>
                   <LogonMethod>3</LogonMethod>
                   <Realm></Realm>
                   <DefaultDomain></DefaultDomain>
             </RSWindowsBasic>
      </AuthenticationTypes>
      <EnableAuthPersistence>true</EnableAuthPersistence>
</Authentication>

This satisfies my testing needs, but not secure prod environment needs.
