Hi guys,

i have an windows2008r2 server with sqlserver2008re and reporting services.
On the other site is my wpf-applictation on a client where i want to show my reports in a webbrowser-control.
Everything works fine. But ther is still the problem, that i have to login when i call the report through the url "http://myserver/reportserver/myreport"

Is there a way to use networkcredentials together with the webbrowser control for autologin? I don't want that the user notifies that there is a login anyway so it must be done in background.

Thanks for your fast replies

I already did tried to use HttpWebRequest like this.

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"http://myserver/reportserver/myreport");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password");
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
browser.NavigateToStream(response.GetResponseStream());

But Didn't work becaus ther are tons of script-errors

Now i changed the authorization from the Reportserver from Ntlm to Basic...there i can insert my logininformation by aditional headers in den webbrowser.Navigate-method.
But the login-popup still occurs...

MIDL

byte[] authData = System.Text.UnicodeEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes("user: password");
string authHeader = "Authorization: Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(authData) + "\r\n";
browser.Navigate(uri, "", null, authHeader);

Any other idears?

This has worked for me ... except ... that the URI was to a page that auto-loaded a javascript URI and a CSS URI and an iframe HTML URI. WireShark shows that the original request has the correct credentials, but that one or more subordinate requests do not have the provided credentials. Still hunting a solution.

Solution 1

You can use a HttpWebRequest object to post the credentials behind the scenes. Google is your friend.
