Can't add domain users to Reporting Services 2008

Question

I have SSRS 2008 setup on the database server. The server is part of the domain. Reporting Services is running under NetworkService. When I try to add a domain user using the web interface (Site Settings --> Security --> New Role Assignment), the page posts back but the user is not in the list. The server's log file contains the following Unhandled Exception:

ui!ReportManager_0-1!954!01/12/2009-10:14:52:: Unhandled exception: System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: Some or all identity references could not be translated. at System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier.Translate(IdentityReferenceCollection sourceSids, Type targetType, Boolean forceSuccess) at System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier.Translate(Type targetType) at System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetName() at System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.get_Name() at ReportingServicesHttpRuntime.RsWorkerRequest.GetServerVariable(String name) at System.Web.Security.WindowsAuthenticationModule.OnEnter(Object source, EventArgs eventArgs) at System.Web.HttpApplication.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)

Any one have an idea on how to fix this?

Answer 1

Are there other domain users in the list of allowed users? Perhaps "NetworkService" doesn't have rights to read from AD, though I would expect it to. I've always run SSRS as a domain proxy user (Domain\SSRS_Proxy, or whatever), and I've been able to add "Domain Users" before.

Answer 2

got to home then on properties and then add the user with roles whatever you want to gives.
