SSRS across Internet
-
Hi everybody I was looking information about this tip, a found a lot of information, but still no clear to me. I would like to know what setup I have to make to view my reports across Internet. I have read that is possible, from this link, but my topology is more simple http://technet.microsoft.com/es-es/library/ms159272%28v=sql.105%29.aspx[^] But still I have somo doubt about the settings. The topology is PC with SQL Server and SSRS ---> ROUTER ----> PC Client What I did until now Setup SSRS for network Service Setup firewall port http://PC:8080/Report Setup router for the same port Try to access from my IPPublic to http://188.234.xxx.xxx:8080/Report But didn´t work... Any suggestion, or tip, will be gratefull ;)

First question - have you got SSRS up and running for those on the local network, can users see reports when on the local network? Second question - what does 'didn't work' mean, what error messages did you get?

Hi, thank you very much for your interest First question - have you got SSRS up and running for those on the local network, can users see reports when on the local network? Yes, inside the network everything is working fine Second question - what does 'didn't work' mean, what error messages did you get? The problem is the browser, Internet explorer can't find the web page. I don´t know what is wrong with my configuration. Thank you

That's still not telling me the error message you receive. Are you getting a 404, what is the exact wording of the error message?

If your browser cannot open Google, is that the browsers fault? I'd first check connectivity, in particular NAT. Download a portable Apache-server and put it on USB. Start that on the machine that you are trying to reach. That way you can verify whether the computer can be found and the TCP settings/firwall/router is correct. I'm going to guess that the translation of the external IP to an internal IP is incorrect.

Right now I´m out until the next monday. I can´t prove anything more. As soon as I come back I´m going to prove it and then I´ll reply

Hi Christopher & Eddy Please take a look to the following image, if you can, please try yourself. From the client I do not get any error message If you try to do a telnet, you can see this work perfectly, so this means that port forwarding is right. http://i57.tinypic.com/ms2glu.png[^]

If that is a screenshot from your local network, using the outside adress, then yes, I'd expect it to not find it. From any other computer outside the network, it should be visible. It ain't from my place - something accepts the connection, but that's about it.

Hi Eddy, thank you very much!!! No, the screenshot is from outside of my network, I´m connected with another public IP. When I try connect from my network, inside the Lan, everything is fine. I don´t know what else I can try.
I would have expected the other way around :) I can't TeamView, but if I did, the first thing I'd be doing is downloading a webserver. As soon as the external IP in a browser shows the "it works" page from Apache, I'd replace the server with another app (SSRS in your case).

I have tried the following, Install IIS and try to access from outside, and works perfectly. Download a portable Apache-server and put it on USB. Start that on the machine that you are trying to reach. That way you can verify whether the computer can be found and the TCP settings/firwall/router is correct. I'm going to guess that the translation of the external IP to an internal IP is incorrect. Sorry Eddy, but I don´t understand what have to do. I have download xampp portable http://portableapps.com/apps/development/xampp[], but I´m a litle lost, If you can guide me ...

You already done it; whether it's tested with IIS or Apache makes little difference. If you can connect from the outside and see the IIS-page, then the network-settings are correct. To summarize; you have an application that servers webpages (IIS) and that is reachable from outside of the local network. You have another application (SSRS) that works correctly on the network, but does not talk to the outside world. Does SSRS require credentials? I had expected an error-message if it is missing a authentication, but I can imagine that there's some kind of "lock" on SSRS to prevent anonymous browsing of the database. Apparently it is complicated enough to write a book[^] on the subject.

Hi Eddy Finally SOLVED!!! After reading your linkhttp://searchitchannel.techtarget.com/feature/SQL-Server-2008-Reporting-Services-for-Internet-deployment[^] All I have done, is edit the file rsreportserver.config and change the tag Authentication
Off Proxy trueAfter this works perfectly. Thank you very much
