I have users logging in using simple HTTP Auth (NTLM on IIS). I need this info, the user id / pw to be passed to the report i am creating. How can i do that ?
The best way to provide specific values for the report (report engine) is by using Report-Parameters. In the attached sample solution, you can find a report (ClassLibraryVB.Report1) with two report parameters which values are displayed in two text boxes. Also, a web form where the values of the two edit controls are used to initialize report's parameters.
If the specific information sent to the report is not for displaying but for use in the data connection or filtering please review this video sample where such a case is explained.
Please, review the samples and let me know if there are other questions.
