    HI Team,

    I would like to know best way how we can configure sharepoint to SSRS about authencation to see the reports  when the sharepoint intregration mode is "Trusted"?.

    I can able to see the SSRS reports in sharepoint site when it is windows integrated. (i.e Sharpeoint repoort  integration mode is "windows").

    Right now the managers want that authentication mode is  "Trusted mode" but not "Windows". 

    So  How we can see the reports if the authentication mode is "Trusted" ?

     Please help me its very urgent

    Regards,

    Ramu

    In trusted mode, you will set up connections to use a proxy account. The account that is used can be either Windows or SQL, depending on the option that you choose. You will then configure your reports to use one of these connections.

    It is a good practice to keep the connections in a separate library from the reports, and to secure them appropriately, since editors will be able to see the connection strings. Also, the accounts used as proxies should only have permissions to the items in SQL required to render the reports.

    I hope that this helps.
