using ServiceStack's custom Authentication with Telerik.Reporting.Services.ServiceStack

[matthew]

I'm trying to use ServiceStack's IAuthProvider interface to implement custom authentication for my reporting service. The problem is since the end point implementations are inside the Telerik dll, I can't decorate them with the [Authenticate] attribute required to enforce authentication. 

I'd rather not have my reporting server wide open for anyone who has HTTP access to the server. 

Anyone have any creative solutions to this problem?

Hello Matthew,

Currently there is no option to add the attributes to the required methods. Please try using other authentication approach e.g. basic authentication and send authentication keys into the service's requests headers:

add this script in the view:
---------------------------
$.ajaxPrefilter(function (options, originalOptions, jqXHR) {
                jqXHR.setRequestHeader("header", "value");
            });

We will consider providing option to add authentication headers to methods in future. For the time being, please use the above suggestion.
