Hi,
we have three servers (one with an dedicated Active Directory, one with
Windows Sharepoint Services + SQL 2005 and the last with Reporting
Services). The Windows Sharepoint Services is published on the Internet with
the URL https://portal.customer.org (the certifiate used comes from a root
authority installed on the dedicated domain controller). The homepage on the
Windows Sharepoint Services is composed of several webpart and especially
the reporting services webpart. As this webpart is displayed through an
IFRAME, we had to publish the reporting services web server on the internet
too (so we have https://bi.customer.org). The result is not very good as
when a customer is accessing the Windows Sharepoint Services, he has to
authentificate two times (one time for the https://portal.customer.org and
another time for getting access to https://bi.customer.org). We added both
sites on the trusted sites zone but he has no effect. Of course, we didn't
had this problem when reporting services was installed with Windows
Sharepoint Services on the same server (as /Reports and /ReportServer was
accessed by https://portal.customer.org). However, we had to split the
services on two separate servers because we had some performances during the
cubes processing.
Is there a solution to bypass the second authentication request ? As we are
authenticated on the first server (https://portal.customer.org, why the
information is not returned to the second server (https://bi.customer.org)
as both servers are using the same Active Directory ? Is this because we are
using SSL (this could be a security feature to block the "automatic login
with current username and password" option in Internet Explorer when
browsing SSL web sites).
Very thanks for your answers.
