Is there a way of having SSRS (SQL2008) to authenticate via ADFS 2.0 without having Sharepoint in the mix?

Would this help? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/adfs2-step-by-step-guides(WS.10).aspx

Hi swishnets, As is well known, Reporting Services no longer depends on Internet Information Server(IIS) to provide access to the SOAP endpoint, it uses HTTP.SYS directly to listen for requests on a specific port that you define for Report Server URLs. However, the ADFS Web Agent that supported with IIS is required. Currently, we recommend that integrated Reporting Service 2008 with SharePoint server and then configure the SharePoint server to use ADFS. For more information, please refer to the articles below: Configure Web SSO authentication by using ADFS (Office SharePoint Server) SharePoint 2010 and ADFS 2.0 Setup By the way, here is a blog about Configuring SQL Reporting Services 2005 to use ADFS Authentication, please see: http://blogs.technet.com/b/adfs/archive/2007/05/07/configuring-sql-reporting-services-to-use-adfs-authentication.aspx Hope this helps. Regards, Bin Long

I appreciate the responses and the links. Your answers is what I was expecting from what I've found searching the internet for a why to make the hook between ssrs and adfs. I guess my only solution is to come up with web app to perform the auth and display the report, because I'm stuck with using Sql 2008 and there is no hope at this time of acquiring Sharepoint.
