Configuration Help

I am running 2005 reporting services and 2005 visual studio. I have a
c# .net web application located in the default web directory in IIS
that uses forms authentication, but that authentication is to active
directory using an ldap call inside the code. We set it up that way so
the user can log in to a normal page instead of the windows pop-up
login. I have reporting services running inside the web site directory.
It is setup to use windows authentication. I have the user login into
the web site and then when they go to run a report a windows login box
appears and they have to login again. Does anyone know how I can
authenticate to reporting services in the background so the user does
not see the windows pop-up login.
Thanks in advance,
JasonWrite a FormsAuthentication extension to MSRS.

When you app hits LDAP, you can also authenticate against MSRS and grab
the auth cookies for MSRS. Your other options is to hijacks the
ASP.NET pipeline when a user requests an MSRS report and perform the
auth on demand.
