Encryption of SSRS URL
hi ! we include the reports from the SSRS Report Manager into our web application. So the end users from the web page when clicking the link will get the report in a separate page. by this the URL string is displayed in the separate page where the report is displaying the report. the url has all the information like the parameter we used and etc.. So,we would like to know is there any possibilities to encrypt the url in any way not to display the URL string directly. If any one known plz let us know...--------------------------- Radhai Krish | Golden Age is no more far | --------------------------

Hello Radhai, You can't encrypt the URL; how should the browser decrypt it to navigate to? You could use eighter a separate web site with a frame to display the report or you create a web site and use the ReporttViewer Control to show the report; in both cases the browser will only show the URL of the web siteOlaf Helper * cogito ergo sum * errare humanum est * quote erat demonstrandum * Wenn ich denke, ist das ein Fehler und das beweise ich tglich Blog Xing

We discuss how to do this in "Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services" but I don't recall how to do it. Another approach is to use a ReportViewer control in the ASP.NET or Windows Forms application to "front" the path to the report. This totally hides the report URL and all of the parameters which you manage yourself in code.__________________________________________________________________ William Vaughn Author, Mentor, Trainer, MVP Beta V Corporation William Vaughn's blog Hitchhikers Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server (7th Edition) The Owl Wrangler a fantasy fiction novel Please click the Mark as Answer button if a post solves your problem!

HI all ! we did used the parameters name to be non undestandable, like for the field 'Name' we names as 'ahu'. in similar all the other parameters are still gonna be renamed in such way. also the parameter values are gonna be sent as variable from the application front, so that we planned to make the url to be not understandable by the end users. Any ways , i really thank you for the solutions you proposed ! Thankfully,--------------------------- Radhai Krish | Golden Age is no more far | --------------------------
