Can an ASP.NET application running on WinXP+IIS5 access to SSRS web service?

[Max2006]

Hi,

I am developing a web application on windows XP. A page within my
application needs to access to SSRS running on the same machine. Once the
web application tries to consume the SSRS web services, I receive the
following error:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The permissions granted to user
DEV1\ASPNET' are insufficient for performing this operation. --->
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The
permissions granted to user 'ALISGD\ASPNET' are insufficient for performing
this operation.

The user DEV1\ASPNET is member of
"SQLServer2005ReportingServicesWebServiceUser$DEV1" local NT groups. Also I
added the user "DEV1\ASPNET" to browsers and also "System Administrator"
role within SSRS web portal. still the same problem.

I do have the following code on my web service proxy code:

reportingService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

Obviously I can solve the problem by using this code:

System.Net.ICredentials netCredential = new
System.Net.NetworkCredential("Username","Password","Domain");
reportingService.Credentials = netCredential;

But I like to find the root of the problem and solve it properly.

Is there any way that a web application running on IIS5+XP as user "ASPNET'
access to SSRS web service?

Any help would be appreciated,
Max

xp does not have a good solution, as it does not support application
pools. in the web.config in the <impersonate> specify the domain user
and password. you could change the asp.net service account to a domain
account.

Hi Bruce,

So it is not possible to have "ASPNET user on XP consume SSRS web services?

Thank you for help,
Max

Hi Max,

What Bruce means is that on XP you have to use impersonation, while on IIS6
and above you can use a domain account for the AppPool.
